Verdict: SKY DIVINE is expected to get the job done. She should be forgiven a modest latest run, while Tentomidnight and Hebridean Miss can't be ruled out either.

Hebridean Miss

Jockey: Rafael Hernandez Trainer: Tino Attard Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Related to Golden Vision (winner from 6f up to 7½f); Tino Attard debutants have a strong record at Woodbine; recent workouts point to readiness; has to be taken seriously.

Sky Divine

Jockey: Austin Adams Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 6/35-

Comment: Beaten a fair way when fifth in a maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park in September; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; returns from a break here; plenty of appeal as finished third in August.

Tentomidnight

Jockey: Ryan Munger Trainer: W Armata Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 38-26

Comment: Held in sixth on her debut for new trainer 21 days ago in a maiden optional claimer; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; likely to be involved given she was second (albeit some way back) two starts ago.

Reach For The Top

Jockey: Rico Walcott Trainer: Patrick Dixon Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Related to 6½f winner Love The Game; attractively bred daughter of Old Forester; others look more obvious on paper; would be a surprise to see this one figure.

La Belva

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Gordon Colbourne Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 59-07

Comment: Finished last of seven a week ago in a maiden optional claimer; yet to manage better than fifth in her four races; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Ring Bit

Jockey: Corey Jordan Trainer: Devon Gittens Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 4

Comment: Could not finish better than fourth on her debut (here, 6½f) despite blinkers at 18-1 last month; this daughter of Speed Ring looks the part on breeding; hard to see her getting off the mark second time up.

Jockey: Fraser Aebly Trainer: Abraham Katryan Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 746-

Comment: Held when sixth of seven in December in a claimer; been generally quiet since successful in a claimer at Woodbine in September; she is the only mare in this; returns from a break here; makes limited appeal as now looks to be past her prime.

Jockey: David Moran Trainer: Suzanne Drake Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 4585-4

Verdict: BIG BOLD AND FIRST could be sweetened up by first-time blinkers and will benefit from having had a run. Making His Mark and Time Zapper are among the dangers.

Bank On Big Winner

Jockey: O Moreno Trainer: William Tharrenos Age/Wt: 2/8-6

Comment: Has plenty of trackwork under his belt; William Tharrenos debutants have a strong record at Woodbine; question mark over whether he will need the experience and is best watched for now.

Deputy Ghost

Jockey: Fraser Aebly Trainer: Patrick Dixon Age/Wt: 2/8-9

Comment: Makes competitive race debut; has a nice pedigree (by Shaman Ghost); market could reveal prospects as this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals.

Time Zapper

Jockey: Jose Campos Trainer: Dale Desruisseaux Age/Wt: 2/8-6

Comment: Represents a stable with a strong record here with their newcomers; busy trackwork profile suggests no fitness issue; could go close.

Making His Mark

Jockey: Austin Adams Trainer: John Ross Age/Wt: 2/8-1 F: 5

Comment: Seemed to find life tough on his debut three weeks ago over C&D; in first-time blinkers now; prospects now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and he could step up.

So Delicious

Jockey: Keveh Nicholls Trainer: Devon Gittens Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 1

Comment: Caused 25-1 debut upset over C&D; nicely bred (by Jagr); hard to see him getting off the mark second time up as this step up from a maiden claimer looks tougher.

Comment: 11-1 winner of maiden optional claimer over 6f on his debut three weeks ago; this son of Vekoma looks the part on breeding; must make above-average progress to figure as step up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher.

Comment: Lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; sixth of seven beaten 15l over 6½f here (optional claimer) five weeks ago; has a chance as shown he can win fairly recently and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Split Strike

Jockey: Ryan Munger Trainer: Tara Neigel Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 43-412

Comment: Ran well when beaten a short head in an optional claimer 22 days ago; producing consistent form and goes very well here with four course-and-distance wins to his name; leading contender as should be sharper for his recent return to action and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Kinetic Stone

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Ravendra Raghunath Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 83-657

Comment: Possible that there's no more in the locker; last of seven in an optional claimer dropped down to 5f, finishing well behind reopposing Light The Lamp 22 days ago; little chance as this is competitive.

Light The Lamp

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Donald MacRae Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 395-61

Comment: Course specialist (eight wins) and performed at a higher level than this in his peak; ended losing run scoring narrowly overcoming four of these rivals three weeks ago in an optional claimer; should prove competitive.

Fighter In The Win

Jockey: Keveh Nicholls Trainer: Richard Morden Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 551-1

Comment: Gained a just over 1l success when dropped to 7f four weeks ago on first run for this trainer in an optional claimer; three wins from nine runs here and out to complete a hat-trick; is respected.

Forest Buzz

Jockey: Emma Jayne Wilson Trainer: John Charalambous Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 5616-4

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l) in an optional claimer on first outing for new trainer three weeks ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so others more appealing.

Woodbine

Runners: 12 Distance: 0m 5f 0y

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: VELOCIRAPTOR is strongly fancied to come out on top. He likes to stalk the early speed. Fighting The Wars, Backroadsbilly and Red Weaver can't be ruled out either.

Springer

Jockey: Rico Walcott Trainer: Devon Gittens Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 624-74

Comment: Some promise; closest he has come to winning after five starts was a second; no impression when fourth of six over 1m½f here (maiden optional claimer) two weeks ago; drops in trip.

Fine Style

Jockey: Jeffrey Alderson Trainer: Angus Buntain Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 6

Comment: Held when sixth (beaten 9l) on his debut (6f, here) at 28-1 21 days ago; sire gets turf winners; hard to make him a bet based on first race.

Paynes Spirit

Jockey: Da Sean Gaskin Trainer: Devon Gittens Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: First time on the track; sire gets turf winners; faces fairly tall order so this one is best watched.

Red Weaver

Jockey: Sofia Vives Trainer: Robert Tiller Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 22-

Comment: Runner-up here when 30-100 in a maiden optional claimer six months ago; returns from a layoff here; in the mix.

Backroadsbilly

Jockey: David Moran Trainer: Richard Hayashi Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 2-3

Comment: Finished third but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) in a maiden optional claimer three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; with the benefit of experience, he isn't without hope.

Devil's Tongue

Jockey: Lenny Seecharan Trainer: Gordon Colbourne Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: -6

Comment: Could not finish better than last on his debut over 5½f at 9-1 last month; Lenny Seecharan here for one ride; should improve with a run under his belt although it was only a modest start.

Velociraptor

Jockey: Patrick Husbands Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: -2593

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; not beaten that far in third (4l) three weeks ago in a maiden special weight; should be involved as he drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Sunday's Well

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Terry Brooker Age/Wt: 3/8-3

Comment: First time on the track; faces a demanding debut and a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Fighting The Wars

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 60-5

Comment: No impression when fifth of six last month in a maiden special weight; related to Stakes winner Diamond City; should be in the mix now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

Pin Boy

Comment: Ran encouragingly on his debut when third over this trip at Gulfstream Park at 12-5 in December; represents a powerful trainer; form of the yard is a plus; claiming debut.
