Verdict: TEXENSIS is hard to look beyond. She is taken to come out on top off the back of her latest effort. Hidden Image and One More Doll should also be in the mix.

Her Obsession

Jockey: Skye Chernetz Trainer: David Cotey Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 53-364

Comment: Six-race maiden but has managed to finish third but form has been a bit up and down of late; beaten 9l in fourth in a maiden claimer two weeks ago; others more appealing.

Monday Morning

Jockey: David Moran Trainer: Debra Rombis Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 4850-5

Comment: Slumped a bit since winning a maiden optional claimer at Woodbine in September; not beaten too far when fifth of nine over 6½f here (claimer) 37 days ago on debut for this trainer; easy enough to take on.

Stitches

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: Sid Attard Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 1-

Comment: Won by just over 2l on his debut (at Woodbine over 5f) at 11-4 last June; Vekoma gets turf winners; been off the track a long time; runs in claiming company for the first time; has a reasonable shout.

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs; shed maiden status at the seventh time of asking over 6f here (maiden optional claimer) on debut outing for new trainer when leading early from a wide draw last month; others have more pressing claims as he faces a tougher test stepping up from maiden claiming company.

Comment: Running in first race; represents a stable with a strong record here with their newcomers; hard to fancy unless market points the other way.

Skydigger

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Kevin Attard Age/Wt: 2/7-12

Comment: Related to Moon Landing, winning form over 5½f-7f; course debutants for this stable have to be taken seriously; should not be far away as some good aspects to her profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Will Win

Comment: Recent workouts point to readiness; has a nice pedigree (by War Of Will); related to 1m½f winner War Signal; represents top yard; competitive shout with signs of encouragement in profile - form of his trainer is an obvious plus.

Fog D'oro

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: John Ross Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5964-1

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement; broke his duck at the sixth attempt when winning by a short head on first run for this trainer in May in a maiden optional claimer; Eswan Flores a good booking; stepping out of a maiden claimer and this looks tougher so looks opposable.

Magna Time

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Kevin Attard Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Silver Magnatized (6f-1m½f); looks the part on breeding (by Not This Time); sire gets turf winners; represents a yard with a strong record here with their newcomers; looks likely to go well with signs of encouragement in profile and stable is in good order.
