( # 5) Sardius - Filly was claimed out of maiden victory last out by Tom Amoss-Maggie Moss combination for $12,500. Filly is carefully spotted in first start for new barn at level just below claiming price. Was with a good trainer in Dallas Keen before switching stables. A very sharp four furlong breeze on January 7th indicates readiness. Jockey-trainer combination a strong one at practically forty per-cent.

(# 2) Mr. Marlins Dancer - Fits just fine at this claiming level. Three fine second place finishes in a row all at today's $10,000 claiming price. Should be able to save ground into the turn.

(# 3) Chessa Fair - Mr. Marlins Dancer has beaten her three straight times. She has a touch more speed than that rival and the cut-back to five-and-one-half furlongs is a positive one for her.

(# 8) Meleysamore - Was soundly defeated by the top selection two back before breaking maiden in subsequent start. Should sit a nice stalking trip from out here.
