Comment: A course specialist who has won four times here and made it a hat-trick last time; won by just over 1l over 6f here (allowance optional claimer) dropped back in distance two weeks ago; should be involved.

Comment: Wins infrequently; not disgraced when fourth of seven last Saturday (bumped at the start, Los Alamitos) in an allowance race (mixed); is passed over as best days now look to behind him.

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth here in March upped to this distance in a maiden claimer; in for a $20k tag so down in class ($32k last time); can make a decent bid based on the pick of his form and this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer.

15/8

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement and has maintained his consistent level of form; solid effort in defeat to finish second after going off 20-1 four weeks ago in a maiden claimer; yard going well a plus; has to be considered if building on promise shown last time and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark.

Comment: Four wins from 14 here and performed at a higher level than this in her peak; gave good account to finish runner-up two weeks ago in a claimer; should be involved as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and this step up in class unlikely to hinder her.
