Comment: Form has been a bit up and down of late; bobbled at the start in a maiden claimer when fifth of ten 26 days ago; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $5k); others more persuasive.

2/1

Comment: Had two of these rivals behind her when beaten just under 3l to finish third two weeks ago (bumped at the start) in a maiden claimer; possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability; in for a $7.5k tag here, up from $5k last time; others appeal more as not in the habit of winning recently.

Comment: Finished last of seven in a maiden claimer at Gulfstream Park in May; without a win in six attempts although has finished third; eased in class with tag standing at $7.5k here; form of the trainer is a plus; every chance as this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer and she has shown signs of promise in the past.

Comment: Attempting to open her account at the eighth time of asking and generally struggled of late; unable to land a blow when seventh of eight at Laurel Park last month in a maiden claimer; in for a $7.5k tag so down in class ($10k last time); she has a shout as this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Comment: Has got her head in front twice this year; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Penn National (beaten 7l) in a claimer three weeks ago; hard to ignore if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

16/1

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 11l into eighth) over 6f here (maiden claimer, bumped at the start) 18 days ago; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at eight; couldn't be confident about her.
