Comment: Split Tribunal Love and Quiet Charm in a claimer when third beaten just over 2l last month; has won here; every chance if building on most recent effort and his most recent trackwork catches the eye.

Comment: Smart performer at one stage and this is his level; solid effort in a claimer when not far behind Tribunal Love (second) and Surprise Fashion (third) 20 days ago; ought to be competitive as could improve for latest run (has won second time after a break before) and his latest run was promising.

Comment: Three wins to his name - from 5½f to 1m and one-time useful operator; had a bunch of these behind him when third here 14 days ago in a claimer; the trainer continues to be among winners recently; a likely player.

Comment: Good effort when beaten into fourth by just over 1l in a claimer (dropped to this distance) splitting Square Cat, Company's Dream and No d'Oro on debut for this handler two weeks ago; he can be competitive at this level and six-time winner in his career (from 5f-1m½f); one to note as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and shown he can win fairly recently.

Comment: A respectable second of eight at Golden Gate Fields last May in an optional claimer; consistent performer; tries dirt for the first time; higher claiming tag here so up in class; should prove competitive.

Comment: Finished last of six (sloppy track) in September in a claimer; record over this C&D is three wins from seven runs; in for a $12.5k tag so down in class ($22.5k last time); layoff to overcome; strong claims as the return to this distance should be more suitable.

Comment: Just the one victory on her CV; behind Pocket Knife over 1m at Turf Paradise (claimer) when beaten 14l (seventh of nine, off slowly at the start) in December; claiming value now drops from $8.5k; returns from a layoff; entitled to respect as return to this trip should be in her favour and she was third three runs ago.

Comment: Has won at this track; a few throw outs since her success in a maiden claimer at Emerald Downs in August; out of the frame when eighth in a claimer four months ago (Turf Paradise) upped to 1m; drops to a $5k tag from $8.5k; others appeal more.

Comment: Not far behind Dame Lorraine when last over 5f at Turf Paradise (claimer) on first outing for new trainer three weeks ago; yet to taste success in three thoroughbred races; hasn't really fired since her success in a maiden (mixed) at Los Alamitos over Christmas; now moved up in the grades (in for $5k); shown nothing recently so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.
