Verdict: NELL'S LEGACY is a firm choice. She is fancied to reverse the placings with Chilly Philly from their last meeting and has proved she can get her head in front.

Coralgableskaylin

Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 216-

Comment: Not far behind Broadway Venus when sixth at Del Mar in August in a stakes; lightly raced with this just her fourth appearance; returns from a layoff here; runs in claiming company for the first time; is respected if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and drop into claiming grade should help.

Chilly Philly

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Tim Yakteen Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 16-53

Comment: Creditable third, beaten 2½l, of seven when ahead of Nell's Legacy dropped back in distance 30 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; produced a string of consistent efforts; brings winning C&D form to the table; covers an extra 2f here.

Booster Club

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Craig Lewis Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 1

Comment: Narrow scorer at the first time of asking over 6f at 11-2 50 days ago; sire does get winners on the turf; must make above-average progress to figure as may find this tougher stepping out of maiden claiming company.

Comment: This daughter of Win The Space looks the part on breeding; out of the frame (beaten 7l in fourth) over 5½f here (maiden special weight) last month; capable of making an impact as shown some ability on occasion and she didn't get much luck in running when last seen.

Hurricane Layla

Jockey: Reylu Gutierrez Trainer: Antonio Garcia Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to 1m winner Just A Guess; must go on the shortlist as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork.

Joyful Mischief

Jockey: Hugo Herrera Trainer: Melanie McDonald Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 23-558

Comment: Five-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; finished last of eight upped to 1m last month in a maiden special weight; can only watch.

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: WHATMAKESSAMMYRUN is the pick of these. He should be able to confirm placings with Doncic, One Flew South and Commander and has been a winner over this C&D.

Regal Patriot

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: S Knapp Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 33-041

Comment: Ran out a ready winner over 6f here (claimer) 16 days ago; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 6-13); the Steve Knapp outfit is running hot currently; warrants consideration.

One Flew South

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Gus Headley Age/Wt: 9/8-12 F: 6-3444

Comment: Knows this place inside out (three course wins); recent efforts have generally been solid; bumped at the start when behind the reopposing Whatmakessammyrun last month in a claimer; this looks a decent race so one to tread carefully with.

Doncic

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: V Cerin Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: -802

Comment: Beaten three-quarters of a length behind Whatmakessammyrun last month in a claimer; quality operator at his peak and achieved three wins at this venue; likely to be a threat.

Whatmakessammyrun

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 1-1531

Comment: Has gained three wins over C&D; had Doncic, One Flew South and Commander behind him when winning by three-quarters of a length four weeks ago in a claimer; every chance as showed promise in workout a week ago and his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

My Ransom

Jockey: Serafin Carmona Trainer: Javier Sierra Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 969-4

Comment: Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 5l) in a claimer back down to this trip two months ago; sole victory becoming a distant memory; deeper waters here (in for $32k here, $25k tag last time); a few rivals look in good form so very difficult to fancy.

Sharp Aza Tack

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Jeff Mullins Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 7/11-8

Comment: Last of eight in an allowance optional claimer last month; admirable career strike-rate (four from 12 to date); warrants respect.

Don't Swear Dave

Jockey: Victor Espinoza Trainer: H Palma Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 75-242

Comment: Likes it here (three wins); behind Regal Patriot 16 days ago putting in a solid effort to finish runner-up in a claimer; looks likely to go well.

Commander

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: H Palma Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: -365

Comment: Achieved three wins at this venue; solid effort when behind the reopposing Whatmakessammyrun last month in a claimer; passed over as no longer in his pomp.
