Risen Star S. cont. from p1 Making his stakes debut in the GII Remsen S. Nov. 26 at Aqueduct, Mo Town scored a convincing 2 1/2-length success and signaled himself as a factor for the first Saturday in May. He has drilled three straight five-furlong bullets at Payson Park in preparation for the Risen Star, most recently covering the distance in 1:01 2/5 (1/7) Feb. 17. William S. Farish and Lora Jean Kilroy's Guest Suite (Quality Road) will try to pick up his second consecutive Louisiana prep event after annexing the GIII LeComte S. in the local mud Jan. 21. Finishing third to 'Rising Star' and Derby frontrunner McCraken (Ghostzapper) in the Street Sense S. Oct. 30 at Churchill, the gelding romped in a Louisville optional claimer Nov. 26 before his LeComte score. The Neil Howard trainee has drilled sharply for this test, most notably going five furlongs Feb. 14 at Fair Grounds in a bullet :59 2/5 (1/8). A pair of new shooters bring intrigue in Local Hero (Hard Spun) and Girvin (Tale of Ekati). Local Hero, a $500,000 Fasig-Tipton March purchase by eFive Racing Thoroughbreds, was well bet in a pair of runner-up finishes to start his career, and broke through with a dominant wire-to-wire romp to break his maiden here Jan. 26. AHe ran a tremendous race last time, albeit in a softer spot, but he was fast over the surface,@ trainer Steve Asmussen told the Fair Grounds notes team. AHe deserves a chance. It=s a huge step up in competition, obviously, but he could not have been more impressive that day. Brad Grady's Girvin, a first-out winner with a strong 87 Beyer sprinting on dirt in New Orleans Dec. 16, finished second on turf in the Keith Gee Memorial S. Feb. 4. AI don=t ever like the one hole (Girvin=s post), but with him it should be okay,@ said trainer Brad Cox. AIt=s better than 14 and he=s quick enough to get out of there. (Jockey) Brian (Hernandez, Jr.) is comfortable with him and he=s a gritty, game horse. I really like him.@ The two-through-five finishers from the LeComte will also re-oppose, including runner-up and 'Rising Star' Untrapped (Trappe Shot).

Ed DeRosa of TwinSpires .com takes on TDN's Steve Sherack and Brian DiDonato as they handicap each prep race leading up to the GI Kentucky Derby. The three will make $100 Win/Place bets--highest bankroll after the Lexington S. wins.

DeRosa: GIII Southwest S. - Readers of this space might remember that I picked Cool Arrow to win the Southwest S.

DiDonato: GIII Southwest S. - Silver Dust ran into some traffic trouble in the stretch to settle for fourth behind Ed=s replacement pick. Playing from slightly behind now, but still plenty of races to go. Bankroll: $1160.
