Verdict: MOON ROX gets the vote. She could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and is of interest if excusing her most recent run, while Enriqueta looks best of the rest.

Moon Rox

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Javier Contreras Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-36

5/4

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Colonial Downs (beaten 8l) last month in a maiden claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($12.5k from $30k) so down in class; has shown some ability on occasion and holds leading claims.

Butterfly Effect

Jockey: Justin Lewis Trainer: Ronney Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6-437

4/1

Comment: Beaten 13l in seventh behind Moon Rox, 35 days ago in a maiden special weight; likely to be in contention as shown promise on occasion and she now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

The Godmother

Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: John Carlisle Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4467-

5/1

Comment: Attempting to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking (fourth her best finish so far); behind Count The Flowers in a maiden special weight in December when beaten 15l on debut for this trainer; if replicating best previous efforts expected to be in the thick of things.

Count The Flowers

Jockey: Abnel Bocachica Trainer: Michael Atkins Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 3-654

11/2

Comment: Wasn't beaten that far when fourth (beaten 4l) in a maiden special weight last month; losing run stretches to 14; competitive shout if building on most recent effort.

Tina's Back

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Anthony Lucas Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 5-354

12/1

Comment: Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; beaten 10l when fourth of nine last month in a maiden claimer; claiming tag now upped from $10k; makes limited appeal.

Enriqueta

Jockey: Denis Araujo Trainer: Analia Gomez Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8

14/1

Comment: Never posed a significant threat on her debut (66-1) six days ago over C&D; has to be taken seriously as she drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Aim To Please

25/1

Comment: Beaten 18l on her debut in blinkers over C&D (behind Runaway Gold) at 7-2 four weeks ago; hard to make her a bet based on first race.

Modest Kay

Comment: Related to 1m½f winner Let It Flow Joe; market may guide on this one as she has her work cut out against experienced rivals.

Pretty Castle

Jockey: Anthony Radcliffe Trainer: Kevin Boykins Age/Wt: 6/8-3 F: -7664

50/1

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing fourth of eight in a claimer last month; may have reached limits of her ability and still winless and defeats stacking up (26 on the bounce); $10k claiming tag this time (up from $5k); she looks up against it.
