Comment: Just the one victory on her CV; fifth of seven beaten 10l last week in an allowance race; if replicating best previous efforts ought to be considered.

Comment: She can be competitive at this level; not disgraced in fifth on first run for current trainer three weeks ago in a claimer; in for a $12.5k tag so up in class ($4k last time); one to consider as shown she can win fairly recently.

Comment: Beaten 9l into sixth in an allowance race 15 days ago; this C&D holds no fears; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; first run in a claimer; should get involved if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and shown she can get her head in front.

Comment: Disappointing to see him finish fifth two weeks ago given market expectations in a claimer splitting Unaffected, Hollywood Impact and Aloha Man on debut for this trainer; he can be competitive at this level; his best form stacks up so can make a bold bid.

Comment: Producing consistent form; not beaten that far in third (8l) in a claimer (Thistledown) in April; returns from a break here; claiming value now drops to $4k; he should go close if finding his best form.

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth in a claimer at Charles Town last month; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fifth win); the stable continues to be among winners recently; can make his presence felt as lower claiming tag should make this easier.

5/1

Comment: Finished last of eight when dropped in distance 15 days ago at Finger Lakes in a claimer; he can be competitive at this level; now a lower claiming tag ($4k from $9k) so down in class; one to consider as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and shown he can get his head in front.

Comment: Not beaten far when runner-up with Princesstapiture just behind two months ago (sloppy track) in an allowance optional claimer; has achieved six wins from 16 career runs; first attempt on dirt; capable of making an impact as her jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D.
