Verdict: EQUUS is fancied for this. She has winning form in her record and a good pace up front will help her, while Brzina isn't out of it.

Brzina

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 2-64

8/11

Comment: A close fourth here over 6½f (claimer) last month; admirable career strike-rate (seven from 32 to date); class dropper as runs for a $20k tag here; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so is a player.

My First Love

9/2

Comment: Useful in her prime and specialist here with five wins; had a couple of these behind her when fourth here in a claimer two weeks ago; claiming tag now upped from $15k; could be in the mix.

Sweet Gracie

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 5674-4

5/1

Comment: Respectable effort to finish fourth, beaten just over 2l in an optional claimer (Laurel Park) in January; a while since her last success; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Comment: Split My First Love and Spiritual Lady when fifth two weeks ago in a claimer; likes this combination of C&D; claiming value now rises to $20k; makes limited appeal.

Spiritual Lady

8/1

Comment: Could not manage better than sixth in a claimer (stumbled at the start) two weeks ago; a C&D winner; not really built on success in a claimer in November at Aqueduct; now moved up in the grades (in for $20k); others more appealing.

Equus

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 213-7

Comment: Last of seven in January on her first start for this trainer in an allowance optional claimer; managed three wins in her last seven outings; leading contender.
