Miss Accelerate

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: Steve Koler Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 74628

Comment: Unable to land a blow in eighth in a claimer (bumped at the start) last month; yet to win over 6f and form could be levelling off; calmer waters here (in for $2.5k, $5k tag last time); passed over.

Libby's Gambit

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 215855

Comment: Behind Jazzy Love 21 days ago when last of five in a claimer; struggled a bit since winning a claimer at Turf Paradise three months ago; claiming tag drops to $2.5k (from $3.5k); easy to oppose.

Square Footage

Jockey: Chel C Bailey Trainer: Jose Navarro Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 36U-98

Comment: Not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win two years ago); last of eight three weeks ago in a claimer; others appeal more.

Hey Barmaid

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Joe Toye Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 224685

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fifth three weeks ago in a claimer; loves this track (three course wins); no surprise to see her go well if replicating best previous efforts and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Lucy L

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Rigoberto Velasquez Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 35-0

Comment: Could not manage better than tenth when behind a number of the horses she faces here dropped down to this distance last month in a claimer; successful six times from 31 career outings (6f-1m½f); claiming value now drops to $2.5k; third at Emerald Downs in August and should be on the premises.

Heat Seeking Leta

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Sam Dronen Age/Wt: 8/8-13 F: 221-44

Comment: Good course-and-distance record (three wins) and smart performer at one stage; not disgraced when fourth a week ago (close behind Jazzy Love) in a claimer; should be in the mix.

Hunting For Gold

Comment: Seemed to find life tough on his debut 14 days ago here in first-time blinkers over 5½f; claiming value now drops from $10k; jockey does well from inside draws here so could have a say.

Comment: Has found improvement of late; third in course maiden claimer, 10l off winner (had Hunting For Gold (fifth) and Kiko Boy (seventh) behind) last month upped to this distance; should be in the mix.

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Robert Baze Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 066

Comment: No impression when sixth of eight two weeks ago back down to 5½f on first run for current trainer (not far behind John Porter) in a maiden claimer; claiming tag drops from $8k; makes limited appeal.

Comment: This now his fifth attempt to get off the mark; finished last of seven over 6f here (maiden claimer) when dropped in distance two weeks ago; claiming tag drops to $5k (from $10k); shown signs of promise here and there and should not be far away.

Chasin A Dollar

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Billy Christian Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 535433

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice and produced a string of consistent efforts; not beaten too far (3½l) with Red Memorys just behind last Friday in a maiden claimer; a leading player as recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Lightly raced and he has been competitive despite being a maiden; split a number of these rivals three weeks ago when dropped back to this distance in a maiden special weight; a few rivals look in good form so is passed over.

Comment: Went close when runner-up in a maiden claimer two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; seems to be improving based on last two runs but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at eight; others more appealing as not in the habit of winning recently.
