Verdict: ARIO is a firm selection. He is open to improvement and put in an eyecatching run last time out, while Verdi and Sir Dreamer could also have a role to play.

Ario

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Blaine Wright Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 2674/

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 2½l) in a maiden special weight at Santa Anita at Christmas 2023; long absence to overcome; should be involved as latest run was an encouraging one.

R Barracuda

Jockey: Isaias Enriquez Trainer: Frank Lucarelli Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 3222-7

Comment: Shown recent signs of improvement but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 11; not disgraced in seventh over 6f at Turf Paradise (maiden optional claimer, close behind G G Gilley) 32 days ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Verdi

Jockey: Julien Couton Trainer: Tom Wenzel Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 46-

Comment: Lightly raced (running for just the third time); comfortably beaten finishing sixth over 6½f here (stakes) in August; returns from a break here; first-time blinkers; definite chance with drop in class a positive and he knows more about the job in hand.

Star Travel

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Vince Gibson Age/Wt: 3/8-9

Comment: Sire gives plenty of encouragement for 5½f; first racecourse start; market may be informative on his prospects as he may not be a match for those with experience.

Datt Man

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: Jamey Thomas Age/Wt: 4/8-13

Comment: Newcomers from this trainer regularly hit the target; he can make a bold bid as has recorded some interesting trackwork and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Whiskeythenwine

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Bonnie Jenne Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 4-

Comment: Beaten just over 2l to finish fourth on debut over C&D at 18-1 in September; returning from a layoff here.

G G Gilley

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs and produced a string of consistent efforts; far from disgraced (beaten 5l) at Turf Paradise four weeks ago in a maiden optional claimer; hard to dismiss as recent effort was encouraging.

Sir Dreamer

Jockey: David Haldar Trainer: Blaine Wright Age/Wt: 4/8-13

Comment: Shares a dam with Swift Stephan, a 5½f winner; course debutants for this yard should be taken seriously; he has a shout with signs of encouragement in profile and the current trainer form is another tick.

Verdict: ARTEMUS GORDON could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and he knows how to win. Hickory Wind, Old Triangle and Summanus are among the dangers.

Summanus

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Jorge Rosales Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 54-611

Comment: Scored by a slim margin in a claimer last month; boasts winning form over C&D; goes for a hat-trick today; could be interesting as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Rigoberto Velasquez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 31-65

Comment: Beaten 12l in fifth at Turf Paradise four months ago in a claimer; has won here previously; he can be competitive at this level; in with a shout as lower claiming tag should make this easier and he was successful three starts back.

Old Triangle

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 14-897

Comment: Finished last of seven here over 1m (claimer) on his debut for this trainer last Saturday; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-10); claiming tag drops to $3.5k (from $5k); certainly not out of it.

Artemus Gordon

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 6/8-5 F: 34516-

Comment: This is his level; fair effort when beaten 4½l in a claimer at Fresno in September upped to 1m; has had some time off; the trainer continues to be among winners recently; respected as should benefit from return to this trip and shown he can get his head in front.

Comment: An infrequent winner and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; not beaten that far in sixth (9l) 15 days ago in a claimer; now a lower claiming tag ($3.5k from $5k) so down in class; others are preferred.

Comment: Creditable fifth, beaten 2l, of seven here over 6f (claimer) a week ago; yet to taste success in 13 thoroughbred races; in for a $8k tag so down in class ($15k last time); has to be respected as recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Failed to land a blow when sixth of seven in an optional claimer (Santa Anita) in February; winner of five races (1m-1m5f) but hasn't really fired since his success in a starter allowance at Fresno in October; his best looks to be behind him and has some questions to answer.

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Joe Toye Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 5-752

Comment: Gave good account to finish second finished just ahead of Club Mesquite at Turf Paradise last month in a claimer; has been fairly consistent this year and successful four times from 32 career outings (6f-1m); now moved up in the grades (in for $8k); one to take seriously as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Fly By John

Jockey: Carlos Montalvo Trainer: Ryland Harwood Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: -6

Comment: Could not finish better than sixth on his debut (22-1) two weeks ago over C&D; now down in class (in for $10k from $25k); will need to progress to get off the mark.

Little Boy Lute

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Rosie Simkins Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Sire gets a fair share of winners over this distance; running in first race; passed over unless attracting strong support starting out in what looks a warm event and.

Arnie Boy

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Steve Bullock Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Related to 4½f winner Seattlesbestsecret; should have speed for this if taking after sire; interesting to see how he figures in the betting as this doesn't look an easy assignment to kick off with.

Red Leader

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Vince Gibson Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 3-

Comment: Fair debut effort in August over C&D; down in class now, dropping from a $15k tag; returns from a break today; respected if replicating initial run.
