Comment: Had several of these rivals behind her last month over C&D; has a nice pedigree (by Brethren); form of the yard is a plus; a major contender as she should benefit from that experience and her pedigree offers room to progress.

Comment: This daughter of Bolt d'Oro looks the part on breeding; solid run when fourth finished just ahead of Mi Mitole Girl last month in a maiden claimer; calmer waters here (in for $12.5k, $17.5k tag last time); she's a serious player as appeals from a breeding angle and has shown some ability on occasion.

Comment: He can be competitive at this level; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4½l) 49 days ago in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $17.5k; more than capable if on song so has a competitive shout.

Comment: Beaten 6l 27 days ago on first run for his current trainer with Nostalgia's Smile just behind in an optional claimer; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; can make his presence felt if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and he won a maiden claimer two runs back.

4/1

Comment: Good effort when beaten into third by less than a length splitting Xy Speed, Biz Biz Buzz and Bring Theband Home last month in a handicap; a multiple C&D winner and ran well in a stakes two months ago; latest effort was encouraging so could be in the shake up.

Comment: Last of five last month on first run for his current trainer in a handicap; a C&D winner; far from exposed.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 4l) in an allowance optional claimer upped to 1m½f two months ago; winner of nine races from 5f to 1m; hard enough to fancy as this looks a decent race.

Comment: Out of the frame when ninth upped to 1m 33 days ago in a stakes; can boast winning form over this C&D; grade looks suitable; respected with drop in class a positive and shown he can get his head in front.

Biz Biz Buzz

Jockey: Cipriano Gil Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 7-21234

Comment: Suited by this C&D; has largely been consistent of late; split a number of these rivals in a handicap when fourth of five last month; facing a testing assignment and passed over.

Verdict: STRIVER is hard to look beyond. She has a clear chance if excused an unimpressive latest run, while Regalton and Brisa Veloz are also of interest.

Striver

9/4

Comment: Could not land a telling blow when fifth despite odds of 5-4 in a maiden special weight in January; holds major claims as market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better and has shown some ability on occasion.

Emissary

Jockey: Jose Lopez Trainer: Sam Wilensky Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to Grade 2 winner First Peace; requires market confidence to make her of interest with inexperience a possible drawback.

Starship Bella

Jockey: Miguel Vasquez Trainer: Nicholas Zito Age/Wt: 3/8-6

25/1

Comment: Shares a dam with Crusading, a 1m winner; sire capable of producing high class offspring; market may guide on this one as she may not be a match for those with experience.

Brisa Veloz

Jockey: Micah Husbands Trainer: S Joseph Jr Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 0-86

Comment: Not disgraced in sixth in February when back to this trip (bumped at the start) in a maiden special weight; has a nice pedigree (by Munnings); can be in the thick of things.
