Macaw

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 225P-

11/8

Comment: Failed to finish in a maiden claimer at Saratoga on debut outing for new trainer in August; although a maiden, he has made an impact on a few occasions; returns from a break today; has to be respected.

Very Satisfactory

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 3-222

6/4

Comment: From a top stable and has displayed improved form on last two starts; beaten into second when 8-15 finished just ahead of Noble One last month in a maiden claimer; Brad Cox's runners are going great guns at the moment; recent effort was creditable so holds leading claims.

Remember The Chief

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Patrick Quick Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 7506-3

4/1

Comment: Beaten 10l into third over 6f here (maiden claimer) on debut for this trainer in front of Mano E Mano 18 days ago; best form so far in last two starts; easy to see him making an impression.

8/1

Comment: Improved form the last twice; went off 13-2 when good runner-up two months ago in a maiden claimer; cannot be ignored as recent effort was encouraging.

Mano E Mano

25/1

Comment: Found life tough when 14l back in fifth over 6f here (maiden claimer, close behind Remember The Chief) two weeks ago; still winless and defeats stacking up (eight on the bounce); others are preferred as this is a fairly competitive event.

Noble One

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: Jr John Pregman, Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 0-9856

33/1

Comment: Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 13 and hasn't shown much recently; missed the frame (beaten 16l into sixth) in a maiden claimer (behind Very Satisfactory) 18 days ago; not easy to fancy as this could be a hot race.

Bad Boy Butch

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Gregory Sacco Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 2-753

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs; bobbled at the start last month when involved in the finish in a maiden claimer; can be in the mix as recent performance was encouraging.
