Verdict: HARLAN'S LEGACY could cash in if the leaders go too fast and has a healthy career strike-rate. Bareback Fun, Teshima and Timely Secret also warrant respect.

Bareback Fun

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 11511

13/8

Comment: Scored narrowly in a claimer 14 days ago; going for a hat-trick and record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 13-52); not discounted as lower claiming tag worth taking at face value.

Comment: Unable to land a blow when sixth of seven at Presque Isle Downs 13 days ago in a claimer; calmer waters here (in for $4k, $6.3k tag last time); has to be taken seriously as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and she ran well in defeat three starts ago.

Comment: C&D has proven suitable before; this is her grade; not disgraced in fourth 48 days ago on first run for current trainer in a claimer; could be interesting if replicating the best of her form and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Comment: Winner of seven races at this venue; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing third of four over 5f here (allowance optional claimer) two months ago; eased in class with tag standing at $4k here; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so likely to be a threat.

Comment: This C&D holds no fears; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; out of the frame when seventh in November in a claimer; tag unaltered from last time ($4k).
