Verdict: MONGOLIAN FROST looks the one to back. He could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and can confirm placings with Mandela Effect, Wolfram and Benny Buckets, who were behind him when last seen.

9/4

Comment: Had three of these rivals behind him last month when well held second in a claimer; a maiden in thoroughbred racing (eight runs); plenty of appeal.

9/2

Comment: Comfortably beaten despite finishing third in a claimer last month when separating a number of reopposing rivals upped to this trip; poses a threat.

Jockey: Kiaman McGregor Trainer: Antonio Soto Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 32-659

7/1

Comment: Failed to land a blow when ninth of ten in a claimer last month on debut for this trainer; calmer waters here (in for $4.5k, $8.5k tag last time); enters calculations if finding his best form.

Benny Buckets

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 5-468

8/1

Comment: Behind several of these last month when beaten 30l (eighth of ten) in a claimer; likely to be a threat as jockey does well from inside draws here and he has shown signs of promise in the past.

Dandy Day

Jockey: Luis Valenzuela Trainer: Antonio Soto Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 245-1

9/1

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts; caused a surprise when landing a maiden claimer over this trip by just over 2l last month to break her duck; the only filly in the race; Move up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher so makes little appeal.

Hot Cake

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Candelario Villamar Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 74-680

25/1

Comment: A few throw outs since his success in a maiden claimer at Golden Gate Fields last April; unable to land a blow when tenth of 11 over 5½f here (claimer) on debut outing for new trainer four weeks ago; facing a testing assignment and others have more pressing claims.

Wolfram

Jockey: Allyssa Morales Trainer: Alexis Leon Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 8-83776

40/1

Comment: Split a number of these rivals three weeks ago when beaten 26l in a claimer; possible that there's no more in the locker and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2022); this looks a fair heat so is likely to be vulnerable.
