Verdict: KIKURIDE gets a firm vote. She looks best placed to take advantage if the front-runners go too fast and has won over this trip before.

Lady Lithesome

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 81/9

Comment: Last of nine when dropped down to 6½f 60 days ago at Santa Anita in an allowance race; few miles on the clock with this her fourth race; first run in a claimer.

Shezmisbehaving

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Jorge Gutierrez Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 2-3452

Comment: Missed out by a nose two months ago; closely matched with Amanda Rose on that running at Santa Anita in an allowance optional claimer; consistent performer; has scored over C&D; now tackles shorter distance.

Broadway Venus

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Ryan Hanson Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-45661

Comment: Ended losing spell when in front by just under 4l at Santa Anita 53 days ago in a claimer; notable jockey booking; moves up into an allowance race.

True Patriot

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Robert Hess Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 6362-4

Comment: Admirably consistent and one-time useful operator; respectable fourth in an allowance race at Santa Anita splitting Breve, Elegant Sway and Lady Lithesome when dropped back to 6½f last month; prospects as likely to benefit from return to this trip and lots of promise in her latest performance.

Kikuride

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Craig Lewis Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 312

Comment: Near miss when favourite in an allowance optional claimer with Broadway Venus just behind at Santa Anita in May; lightly raced (this just her fourth race); related to Stakes winner Blue Skye Jade; difficult to oppose.

Sand To Sea

Jockey: Alfredo Bautista Trainer: Gary Stute Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 66-861

Comment: Accounted for Princesa Del Tigre and Garden Party in an allowance optional claimer at Santa Anita in May when getting the job done by three-quarters of a length upped to this distance; despite that Santa Anita success, she can be taken on.

Princesa Del Tigre

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 23-344

Comment: Consistent performer and one-time useful operator; fourth behind Sand To Sea when not beaten too far in May (Santa Anita) in an allowance optional claimer; likely to be in contention as recent effort was encouraging.

Garden Party

Jockey: Mirco Demuro Trainer: Leonard Powell Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 7-3217

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; finished last of seven at Santa Anita in May in an allowance optional claimer; others have more pressing claims.

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: R Ellis Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 416-17

Comment: Off the mark at the ninth time of asking in a maiden special weight (Santa Anita) when getting the job done by three-quarters of a length in May; stepped up on her last two starts; can be on the premises.

Comment: Ran well when beaten half a length at Santa Anita over 6½f (allowance race) dropped back in distance two months ago; has achieved three wins from ten career runs; needs considering.

Amanda Rose

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Marcia Stortz Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 6-7973

Comment: Hasn't won for a while and all her winning form has come at Golden Gate Fields (two successes); not disgraced when third in an allowance race at Santa Anita last month; hard to see her doing much as now looks to be past her prime.

Liquid Spirit

Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 353163

Comment: Wasn't beaten that far when third (beaten 4½l) in a claimer at Santa Anita on debut for new trainer last month; now a lower claiming tag ($16k from $32k) so down in class; must be high on list as shown she can win fairly recently and her most recent trackwork was pleasing.

Maria Tallchief

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 3-2451

Comment: Off the mark at the fifth time of asking when winning by three-quarters of a length (bumped at the start, Santa Anita) in May in a maiden claimer; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; now eased in the grades (in for $16k); first attempt on dirt.

Comment: Subpar since successful in a stakes at Zia Park in November but has achieved three wins from 12 career runs; finished fourth, beaten 8l, in May back down to 6½f at Santa Anita in a stakes; extra distance today could help; this is a step down in class.

Comment: Got the job done in an allowance optional claimer by a head (Santa Anita) last month on debut for this trainer; successful once from seven starts in Britain, picking up plenty of prize-money in the process; peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so likely to be a contender.
