Verdict: RIDEGOLD is a firm choice. She could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and can confirm placings with Less Is More and Stubborn, who were behind her when last seen.

Ridegold

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Craig Lewis Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 252

Comment: Finished in front of two of these in a maiden special weight when close second last month; warrants plenty of respect.

We The Hobby

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2-623

Comment: Not beaten far when third in a maiden special weight last month; normally pretty consistent and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; recent display was promising so should give it a bold bid.

Comment: Finished last of 11 last month in a maiden special weight; if excused last two runs she would be interesting based on her second at Santa Anita three months ago; should be on the premises.

Comment: From the same family as Sassyserb, a winner over 1m; faces fairly tall order so a watching brief the best policy.

Comment: Behind We The Hobby in a maiden special weight when beaten 7l (fifth of eight) upped to this distance last month; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; a few rivals look in good form so not one to rely on.

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: LIBERATION can prove superior to her rivals. She makes her debut for a top stable. Love Of The Nile, Bella Chavela and That Ain't Right should also be in the hunt.

That Ain't Right

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Steve Sherman Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Steve Sherman-trained newcomers have a healthy record; early foal; shares a dam with Galoping Cat, a 6f winner; competitive shout as impressive workout history and her sire is a speed influence.

Smiling Carmen

Jockey: Serafin Carmona Trainer: Jorge Periban Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 1m winner Buraq's Reflection; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; trainer does well here with debutants; requires market confidence to make her of interest.

Final Table Lady

Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Jorge Periban Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Trainer does well here with debutants; from the same family as My Dad Is Thirsty, a winner over 1m; bred to improve with age; overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Love Of The Nile

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Antonio Garcia Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 5½f winner Devil d' Oro; has plenty of trackwork under her belt; January foal; comes from a stable in good nick; yard is operating at a respectable strike-rate; worth noting trainer has had a recent debutant winner.

Shady Stripes

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: J Bonde Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: The sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Liberation

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to Grade 3 winner Rashmi; trainer has a good record with newcomers here; has to be considered with signs of encouragement in profile.

Bella Chavela

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: Steven Miyadi Age/Wt: 2/8-2 F: 6

Comment: Held sixth of seven but was making her first appearance (wore blinkers) over C&D at 16-1 22 days ago; related to Grade 3 winner Phantom Boss; looks likely to be involved with a little experience under her belt.

Can You Dream

Jockey: Edgar Payeras Trainer: Rafael DeLeon Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 5

Comment: Creditable debut, finishing fifth, beaten 8l three weeks ago over C&D; related to Grade 3 winner Chismosa; should be better for that run.

G'oro

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Leonard Powell Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 5-443

Comment: Losing run stretches to nine but has taken a step forward the last twice; bumped at the start in a maiden claimer when going close (sent off 18-1) last month; she's an attractive contender if backing up last run and this step up in class unlikely to hinder her.

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: P Eurton Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 4/322-2

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice and normally pretty consistent; went close when runner-up in a maiden special weight 29 days ago; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then is a big player.

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 4l) in a maiden special weight (dropped to 6f, bobbled at the start), showing early speed to lead from a wide draw 49 days ago; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; entitled to respect.

Jennys Tiz

Jockey: Assael Espinoza Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 725

Comment: Beaten 10l (fifth) in a maiden claimer two weeks ago; now eased in the grades (in for $12.5k); the Tim Mccanna outfit is running hot currently; shown he can be competitive fairly recently and expected to be in the thick of things.

Silver N Black

Jockey: Kent Desormeaux Trainer: Robert Hess Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 3-4223

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; ran a solid race finishing third in a maiden claimer three weeks ago; drops to a $12.5k tag; can make a decent bid.

Dontgetfooledagain

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Craig Lewis Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 85

Comment: Held in fifth here over 6f (maiden claimer) behind Toppers Wager, 20 days ago; blinkers fitted for the first time; one to be interested in.

Race Predictor

EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: SNEAKER may have gone closer had she not encountered traffic problems four weeks ago and has been a winner over this C&D. Also of interest is Shocking Grey.

Sneaker

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: George Papaprodromou Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 142-33

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts and good C&D record; finished third when beaten 3l in a Grade 3 four weeks ago upped to this trip; now down in class and is a big player.

Cornelia Fort

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Andy Mathis Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 8-6472

Comment: Beaten narrowly in an allowance optional claimer three weeks ago; all her wins have been at a lower level; facing a tougher assignment than last time, not easy to fancy.

Prancingthruparis

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: P Eurton Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 576-11

Comment: Sprang a 11-1 shock (dropped to 6½f) beating Sneaker and Shocking Grey in March in a stakes; on a hat-trick and winner of three races at this venue; should go well given her record when fresh.

Blevys Tiger

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: Manuel Badilla Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 139-21

Comment: Won by 2½l 20 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; has chalked up three wins from her last six; this demands more than last time so passed over.

Shocking Grey

Comment: Winner of three races at this venue; finished fourth 49 days ago albeit only beaten just over 1l in an allowance optional claimer; poses a threat despite moving up in class.

Quantum Innergy

Jockey: Mike Smith Trainer: Antonio Garcia Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1-8323

Comment: Wins-runs record of 3-14 but yet to win a race of this value; not far behind Cornelia Fort when third 22 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as has more on her plate in this.
