Comment: Unable to land a blow when fifth of nine in a maiden claimer last month; now eased in the grades (in for $5k); clear chance as her rider is capable of making the most of a favourable draw and she was third three runs ago.

Comment: Goes very well here with eight course-and-distance wins to his name and consistent lately; good effort when beaten into fourth by 1½l last month in an allowance optional claimer; now eased in the grades (in for $10k); looks likely to be involved if reproducing most recent effort and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

33/1

Comment: Has managed four wins from 15 career runs and is a multiple winner this year; split a number of these rivals in an allowance race when seventh of eight two weeks ago; has been found wanting at this level before so can be taken on.

Comment: Grade looks suitable; promoted from fifth to fourth in an allowance race two weeks ago; shown he can win fairly recently and can figure.

Comment: Goes very well here with four course-and-distance wins to his name and has been fairly consistent this year; finished fourth, beaten just over 3l to Spirit Of Windsor 28 days ago (sloppy track) when leading early from a wide draw in a claimer; cannot be ignored.

Comment: Achieved five wins at this venue; ended losing spell over 6½f here (claimer) when springing a surpise to score by 2l (went off 22-1) 28 days ago (sloppy track) with five of these in behind on debut for this trainer; he has a shout.

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 9l, finishing fifth of nine 28 days ago (sloppy track) in a claimer; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-14); can make his presence felt.

10/1

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last five; recent runs have been consistent; creditable effort behind Spirit Of Windsor when beaten just under 3l into third at 20-1 (sloppy track) 28 days ago in a claimer; should give it a bold bid.

Comment: Hardly a model of consistency and form could be levelling off; beaten a fair way when seventh (sloppy track) last month in a claimer; deeper waters here (in for $5k here, $4.5k tag last time); a few rivals look in good form so can be taken on.

Lieutenant Brown

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 7-8247

Comment: Has an excellent record over course and distance (six wins from 13 runs) and produced a string of consistent efforts; not disgraced when seventh (Laurel Park) on his debut for new trainer last month in a claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $5k); extra distance today could help.
