Verdict: JUNGLE PEACE is a C&D winner and given her current winning run, she has every chance of going in again. Amorita and Cloe must be on the shortlist.

Cloe

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: -161

Comment: Won by just under 2l when dropped to 5f at Gulfstream Park last month on first run for this trainer in a stakes; has won two of her three career runs; has to be considered despite this step up in class.

Jungle Peace

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 63-11

Comment: Landed a narrow success in an allowance optional claimer last month; failed to win in Ireland; has to be feared despite moving up in class.

Schilflied

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: P Gallagher Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 2-3421

Comment: Claimed a second C&D win 21 days ago when successful by half a length; can give it a good shot as jockey does well from inside draws here and she can take this step up in class in her stride.

Velocity

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 51

Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Nyquist); scored narrowly in a maiden special weight when getting off the mark at the second time of asking 29 days ago; makes limited appeal given likely tougher test.

Maximun Gold

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: Ruben Gomez Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 45-221

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; got the job done in a maiden optional claimer by half a length when opening her account at the fifth time of asking 21 days ago; Move up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher so difficult to build a solid case for her.

Nala

Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: O Jauregui Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 12-513

Comment: Managed two wins in her last five outings; fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing third of six in a claimer finished just ahead of Misty Dancer 37 days ago upped to 1m; is respected.

Comment: Split Cioppina Pasadina and Liquid Spirit in a claimer when fourth of seven two months ago; eased in class with tag standing at $16k here; can be on the premises as jockey does well from inside draws here and she's shown signs of promise here and there.

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth here when close behind Liquid Spirit over 6f (claimer) four weeks ago; now down in class (in for $16k from $32k); likely to be involved if finding her best form.

Liquid Spirit

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: George Papaprodromou Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 1-2353

Comment: Respectable effort finishing third (beaten 5l) over 6f here (claimer) last month; class dropper as runs for a $16k tag here; leading claims as shown she can win fairly recently.

Feisty Mitole

Jockey: Adrian Escobedo Trainer: S Knapp Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 034-65

Comment: A while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win 525 days ago); didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Los Alamitos (beaten 6l) in an allowance race (mixed) last month; this line-up contains some strong opposition so looks risky.

Runnin Ute

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Librado Barocio Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 14-12

Comment: Near miss when favourite in an optional claimer four weeks ago in front of Touch Of Zen on debut for this trainer; has chalked up four wins from his last six; has won here; should have every chance.

Supermazel

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: J Bonde Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 73-341

Comment: Had several of these behind in a claimer when successful by just over 2l last month; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 7-33; likely to be thereabouts.

Touch Of Zen

Jockey: Dorde Perovic Trainer: Steven Miyadi Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 455-4

Comment: This is his grade; not far behind Runnin Ute when fourth last month in an optional claimer; should be in the mix as lower claiming tag should make this easier and shown he can win fairly recently.

Movietime

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: Jose Bautista Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 5766-7

Comment: Three wins have been gained over this distance but largely disappointing since successful in a claimer at Golden Gate Fields last June; could not manage better than seventh in January in a claimer; facing a testing assignment and looks an unlikely winner.

Wild Wager

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Jorge Bautista Age/Wt: 9/9-0 F: 24-665

Comment: Was behind Supermazel here last month when beaten 13l in a claimer; wins infrequently and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; could be an uphill struggle as best days now look to behind him.

Roister

Jockey: Assael Espinoza Trainer: Francisco Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 24561/

Comment: Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a seventh win); comfortable winner in a claimer in 2023 at Golden Gate Fields upped to this distance; returns from a lengthy absence.

Verdict: MILES FINCH will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast and can turn around placings with Annan from last time they met. Annan and Zagreus should also be in the hunt.

Annan

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Alexis Barba Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 5/5223

Comment: Stepped up on his last two starts and has been consistent of late; minor honours when evens splitting Going Nowhere, Fight Back and Just A Graze last month in a maiden special weight; possibilities if building on promise shown last time.

Zagreus

Comment: Split a number of these rivals, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw when involved in the finish last month in a maiden special weight; no surprise to see him go well.

Johnny Whispers

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Steve Bryant Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6

Comment: Beaten on his debut over 5½f here at 22-1 in February; facing a tougher assignment than last time, will need to show more than he did on debut to be competitive.

Just A Graze

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 4½l, finishing fifth of nine in a maiden special weight upped to this distance last month; improved form the last twice; should get involved as pick of form offers some encouragement.

Sogno Di Vino

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 74-65

Comment: Best he's managed so far is fourth from four career starts; not beaten that far in fifth (just over 3l) in a maiden special weight when behind three of these last month on debut for this trainer; others more persuasive.

Giant Luther

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-694

Comment: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten 2½l) in a maiden special weight when separating a number of reopposing rivals last month on debut for this trainer; still winless and defeats stacking up (nine on the bounce); a few rivals look in good form so others more likely.

Millbo Baggins

Miles Finch

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 23-33

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Kings River Knight and some promise; closest he has come to winning after four starts was a second; split a number of these rivals when on the premises, finishing third in February upped to this distance, managing to get across to lead from stall seven in a maiden special weight; has to be considered.
