EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: PIVOT TO THE POWER is a firm choice. She comes here off the back of a fair effort last time and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front. Unaffected and Junior Chief can't be ruled out either.

Aly Stone

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Rebecca Holton Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: -4638

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; could not manage better than eighth in a maiden special weight two weeks ago; not a betting proposition in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Bucephalus Touch

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Jennifer Johnson Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 668

Comment: Behind two of these last month when eighth here in a maiden special weight; still searching for first win after three tries; unlikely winner.

Fratellino

Jockey: Michael Pagan Trainer: Juan Vazquez Age/Wt: 4/8-4 F: 645-78

Comment: Finished last of eight in a maiden special weight (sloppy track) upped to this distance when behind four of these rivals last month on debut for this trainer; has to be considered as shown some signs of promise.

Willa's Bugaroo

Jockey: Luciano Hernandez Trainer: Joe Pizzurro Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 766-07

Comment: Was tailed off in a maiden special weight (Presque Isle Downs) last month upped to 6f; yet to finish better than sixth in his five races; shown nothing recently so looks an unlikely winner.

Brave Words

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Jeff Fletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 37423

Comment: Improved form the last twice; favourite when third last month with Junior Chief and Bucephalus Touch behind dropped back in distance in a maiden special weight; if he can build on his latest effort then should give it a bold bid.

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: J Baird Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 69778

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Juan Vazquez Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 595-82

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts; beaten narrowly on his first start for this trainer last Wednesday in a maiden claimer; should not be far away if reproducing most recent effort and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

Pivot To The Power

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Eric Reed Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 33254

Comment: Wasn't beaten that far when fourth (beaten 2½l) at Belterra Park last month in a maiden special weight; she is the only mare in this; latest effort was encouraging so has to be taken seriously.

Carolina Cherokee

Jockey: Ricardo Barrios Trainer: Jennifer Johnson Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 4-0264

Comment: Not yet off the mark in six attempts although has finished second; beaten 13l in fourth in a maiden special weight splitting Brave Words, Aly Stone and I'm Great Two upped to this distance (sloppy track) last month; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this looks a fair heat.

Rock Bullet

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 38-77

Comment: Useful at this level but form has an uneven look to it; found life tough when 7l back in seventh in a maiden claimer (bumped at the start) at Laurel Park last month upped to this distance; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late.

Supersonic Me

Jockey: German Terraza Trainer: Eliska Kubinova Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 3322

Comment: Gave good account to finish second (sloppy track) last month at Belterra Park on first run for current trainer in a maiden claimer; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and produced a string of consistent efforts.

Comment: Finished last of six in a claimer (Monmouth Park) 51 days ago; eased in class with tag standing at $4k here; if excused most recent runs she would be interesting based on success three runs ago; should make a bold bid.

Jockey: Renzo Diaz Trainer: Javier Morzan Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 785877

Bee Wings

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: John Brown Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 7565-5

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 13l into fifth) in a claimer last month on debut for this trainer; no longer appears to be improving and hasn't won for a while; not a great record on second run back after a layoff and easy enough to take on.

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fourth at Thistledown over 6f (allowance race, sloppy track) in September; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; returns from a layoff; first attempt in claiming company; very interesting if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and has proved he knows how to win.

Verdict: LIBERTY BELLE is fancied for this. She can be excused her most recent run and the form of her last race has worked out well, while Palmary is another to consider.

Liberty Belle

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Michelle Winters Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 42224

Comment: Successful nine times from 53 career starts (6f-1m½f) and grade looks suitable; finished fifth but subsequently promoted to fourth at Thistledown over 6f (allowance race) 49 days ago; holds leading claims.

Comment: Has been fairly consistent this year and has an impressive record over course and distance (seven wins from 43 runs); third behind Golden Nole in a claimer last month; deeper waters here (in for $10k here, $4k tag last time).

Golden Nole

Jockey: Alexander Chavez Trainer: Michelle Winters Age/Wt: 8/9-1 F: 7/6-211

Comment: Boosted C&D record to five from 11 last month; performed at a higher level than this in her peak and on a hat-trick; should give it a bold bid as she's impressed clockwatchers enough to suggest this higher tag not insurmountable and win last time out points to her being able to handle class rise.

Comment: Searching for his third career win; beaten a long way in April (Thistledown) in a claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($4k from $5k) so down in class; makes limited appeal as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Gets On Base

Jockey: Yan Aviles Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 13-5

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-11; not beaten too far when fifth here 50 days ago in a claimer; plenty of appeal as return to this trip should be in favour.

Betsy Is The Code

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Carrol Langley Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 14-634

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l) when close behind This One Can Run last month in a claimer; has maintained her consistent level of form and multiple course winner.

Autism Counts

Jockey: Alejandro Gomez Trainer: Eddie Clouston Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 52141-

Comment: Recorded second C&D win in November; managed two wins in her last three outings; returns from a break here; definitely of interest.

Verdict: MILANO can prove superior to his rivals. He could be the main beneficiary if the front runners go too fast and has been successful at this track before, while Far West, Weekend Concerto and Drive By Layover must be respected.

Callihoo

Jockey: Rocco Bowen Trainer: Mikhail Carmichael Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 05942

Comment: Has managed three wins from 13 career runs; went down by 1l two months ago at Thistledown in a claimer; he's an attractive contender as jockey does well from inside draws here and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Far West

Jockey: Michael Pagan Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 9/8-4 F: 5411

Comment: Was well on top at the line here over 1m (claimer) last Wednesday; out to complete a hat-trick and proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a 14th win); no surprise to see him go well as despite being up in class he appears to be in good form and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Top Of The Mint

Jockey: Jason Simpson Trainer: Devan Ewell Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: 53257

Comment: Out of the frame when seventh nine days ago in a claimer; $5k claiming tag this time (up from $4k); passed over with several rivals in good nick.

Doctor Lee

Jockey: Kevin Gonzalez Trainer: Terry Crago Age/Wt: 11/8-11 F: /484-

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth in a claimer a year ago; has won 13 times from 6f up to 1m½f; layoff to overcome; claiming value rises from $4k last time; this is competitive and passed over.

Slippery When Wet

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 35663

Comment: Ran well when beaten just under 2l (muddy track) dropped down to this distance a week ago in a claimer; claiming tag now upped from $4k; one to be interested in as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field and his latest run was promising.

Scratchoff

Jockey: Agustin Bracho Trainer: Jami Poole Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 63324

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth 50 days ago in a claimer; producing fairly consistent form; possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; claiming value rises from $4k last time; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as no longer in his pomp.

Drive By Layover

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Josh Bishop Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 121-51

Comment: Enhanced C&D record to four wins from 12 15 days ago with a a head success; useful in his prime; definite chance as despite being up in class he appears to be in good form.

Weekend Concerto

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Carrol Langley Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 317-11

Comment: Recorded second C&D win last month; yet to taste defeat over this C&D, winning on all two attempts; attempts to land a hat-trick; although up in class he appears to be in top form so needs to be respected.

Cajun Chaos

Jockey: Limber Flores Taboada Trainer: Wajdi Bouali Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: 899-97

Comment: Last of seven over 5½f here (claimer) 22 days ago; recent form is unremarkable and may have reached limits of his ability; deeper waters here (in for $5k here, $4k tag last time); now looks to be past his prime and looks an unlikely winner.
