Verdict: BLUEBIRD CAFE can prove superior to her rivals. With low mileage she may be capable of showing improvement and has been running consistently well.

Flying Miss

Jockey: Christopher Mamdeen Trainer: Robert Maybin Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 55332-

Comment: Ran well to finish second (beaten 4l) over 1m½f here (claimer) in October; easy enough to take on as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Weekendindelmar

Jockey: Richard Balgobin Trainer: Robert Maybin Age/Wt: 4/8-1 F: 34144-

Comment: Finished last of four in September in a claimer; consistent performer and useful in this grade.

Bluebird Cafe

Jockey: Antonio Reyes Trainer: Keith Pedersen Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 422-

Comment: Had two of these rivals behind her in a claimer when only just held in September; consistent performer; strong claims.

Stilettos Only

Jockey: Bebeto Harvey Trainer: Tammy Snow Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 63212-

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten 3½l, had Flying Miss and Weekendindelmar behind) in September in a claimer; has found improvement of late.

Duke Girls

Jockey: Kerron Khelawan Trainer: Dino Condilenios Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 22521-

Comment: Shed maiden tag in September when winning by just under 2l in a maiden claimer; has displayed improved form on last two starts; she should go close.

Verdict: It is hard to get away from KRIS'S GOLD. He has a clear chance if excused an unimpressive latest run, while Touch The Sun is an interesting candidate.

Kris's Gold

Jockey: Kerron Khelawan Trainer: Patty Leaney Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 323-

Comment: Some promise; closest he has come to winning after three starts was a second; not beaten that far in third (6l) in a stakes upped to 1m½f in October; returns from an absence here; could be hard to beat.

Golden Regal

Jockey: Learie Seecharan Trainer: Patty Leaney Age/Wt: 3/8-5

Comment: First race for the son of Sungold; from the same family as Finaly Classy, a winner over 3½f; market could reveal prospects this early in his career.

Rondelito

Jockey: Kimal Santo Trainer: Steve Henson Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 576-3

Comment: Finished third but only beaten 2l here over 6f (maiden optional claimer) a week ago on debut for this trainer.

Sailing Force

Jockey: Christopher Mamdeen Trainer: Patty Leaney Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 452-

Comment: Solid effort when 16-1 runner-up upped to 1m½f in October in a stakes; back from an absence here; dropped in grade to claiming level so one to be interested in.

Touch The Sun

Jockey: Amadeo Perez Trainer: Barbara Heads Age/Wt: 4/8-12

Comment: Represents a yard with a strong record here with their newcomers; seems to have been working encouragingly and has to be high on list.

Verdict: BUCK'S FIZZ looks the one to back. He has been running to a consistent level lately and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for him.

Buck's Fizz

Jockey: Richard Balgobin Trainer: Robert Maybin Age/Wt: 4/8-1 F: 7492-2

Comment: Consistent lately; finished ahead of three of these in a claimer when dropped to 6f two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; first run on dirt; holds major claims if confirming promise shown last time.

Logical Al

Jockey: Chad Forbes Trainer: Robert Maybin Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 3725-5

Comment: A while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); behind several of these two weeks ago when last of five in a claimer; a few rivals look in good form so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Rick's Dancer

Jockey: Christopher Mamdeen Trainer: Robert Maybin Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 2331-4

Comment: Looking for his third career win; not disgraced in fourth in a claimer when separating a number of reopposing rivals two weeks ago.

Highliner

Jockey: Kimal Santo Trainer: Steve Henson Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 6516-1

Comment: On target twice in his last three outings; problems at the start (bumped) here over 6f (claimer) when successful by 2l last week; looks likely to be involved.
