Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Belterra Park (beaten 9l) 18 days ago in a claimer; a prolific C&D winner but largely disappointing since successful in a claimer at Turfway Park five months ago; up in class (in for $10k here, $5k tag last time); hard enough to fancy as best days now look to behind her.

Comment: Track has proven suitable before; struggled a bit since winning a starter allowance at Mountaineer Park in October; last of six last month at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; $10k claiming tag this time (up from $5k); latest efforts leave a lot to be desired so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Comment: Successful ten times from 44 career runs; producing fairly consistent form; ran well to finish second at 9-1 35 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $10k here; easy to oppose as no great record on second run back following a layoff.

Comment: Third, beaten just under 2l, in a claimer (Charles Town) two months ago; mostly consistent recently; trainer is ticking along nicely; likely to be a threat as lower claiming tag should make this easier and shown she can win fairly recently.

Comment: Out of the frame when eighth at Santa Anita two months ago in a claimer; useful at this level; Jose Silva's runners are going great guns at the moment; should prove competitive if finding his best form.

Comment: Problems at the start (bobbled) here over 5f (allowance race, muddy track) 21 days ago when sixth beaten just under 5l on debut for this trainer; grade looks suitable; should prove competitive as shown he can win fairly recently and stepping up in trip is a positive.

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; favourite but out of the places when third in a maiden claimer two weeks ago; claiming value now drops to $4k; form of the stable is a plus; needs to be respected.
