Verdict: KHINJANI gets a firm vote. She could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and has rewarded supporters in the past. Runamileinmyshoes and Vibez should also be in the mix.

Baltic Fire

Jockey: Serafin Carmona Trainer: S Callaghan Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 510-4

Comment: Respectable effort finishing fourth (beaten 2½l) over 1m1f here (allowance optional claimer) three months ago; managed two wins in her last six outings; not hard to turn elsewhere given the strong opposition here.

Vibez

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: P Eurton Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 110-3

Comment: Solid effort when beaten 3l to finish third dropped back in distance in March in an allowance optional claimer; managed two wins in her last four outings; should go close.

Royal Charter

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Leonard Powell Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 4-264

Comment: Proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a fourth win); not disgraced when fourth of seven last month in an allowance optional claimer; likely to be thereabouts.

I'm A Risque Girl

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: Francisco Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 1/23-4

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts and this is her grade; just under 5l behind the winner, Woodbine Way, last month in a claimer; a leading player as jockey does well from inner gates here and shown she can win fairly recently.

Pondergating

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Felix Rondan Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 151-5

Comment: Her three wins have all been over this trip; finished just behind Roses R Blue when fifth posting a respectable effort in January in a claimer; record when fresh is not entirely persuasive and hard to entertain.

Roses R Blue

Jockey: Dorde Perovic Trainer: Marcia Stortz Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 1-2363

Comment: Creditable effort behind Woodbine Way in a claimer when on the premises, finishing third at 5-1 five weeks ago; brings winning C&D form to the table; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and has some questions to answer.

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Anthony Saavedra Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 785735

Comment: Behind Woodbine Way when finishing fifth over 6f here (claimer) last month; good record here of three wins from 26 runs; tame effort last time but third two starts back, albeit a fair way off the winner, 48 days ago; by no means ruled out.

Woodbine Way

Jockey: Serafin Carmona Trainer: Jose Hernandez Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 852319

Comment: Beaten 15l in an optional claimer on first run for her current trainer last month; she can be competitive at this level and smart performer at one stage; should not be far away if replicating the best of her form and was successful two starts back.

Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: Bill McLean Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 223-82

Comment: Behind Woodbine Way when beaten 1l last month in a claimer; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023) and could be at the extent of her ability; in for the same $5k tag.

Icy Mischief

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Monty Meier Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 64-216

Comment: Has won at this course; can be a player at this level; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) when close behind Woodbine Way six weeks ago in a claimer; claiming tag drops from $10k; likely to be in contention if finding her best form.

One Of These Days

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten just under 3l) over 1m here (optional claimer) in October when just behind Big Juanito; returns from an absence here; Philip D'amato's runners are going great guns at the moment; leading claims if building on most recent effort.

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: Victor Garcia Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 54-094

Acero

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: Lorenzo Campuzano Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 32-66

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing sixth on his first start for this trainer two weeks ago in a claimer; not the most consistent of horses lately; deeper waters here (in for $25k here, $5k tag last time); probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Naismith

Jockey: Kent Desormeaux Trainer: Robert Hess Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 24-433

Comment: Performed at a higher level than this in his peak and producing consistent form; finished in front of two of these in a claimer when on the premises, finishing third at 13-1 upped to 1m last month; recent display was promising so is capable of making an impact.
