Orphan Hallie

Comment: Behind Midnight Tempesta when last of seven last month in a claimer; hasn't won for a while and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; makes limited appeal as now looks to be past his prime.

Comment: Had several of these rivals behind him five weeks ago upped to 1m½f when only just held in a claimer; jockey does well from inside draws here so holds major claims.

Comment: Unable to land a blow when seventh of eight in a claimer five weeks ago splitting Mister Holden, Red Sneakers and Leopardi upped to 1m½f; one-time useful operator; definitely of interest as shown he can get his head in front and dropping back to 7½f is a plus.

Verdict: STRATUS is a firm choice. He can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and can show that a below-par effort last time was just a blip. Just Jacobo and Holiday Snooze should also be considered.

Comment: Has raised his game the last twice; finished in front of two of these in a maiden optional claimer last month when beaten just under 2l to finish second upped to 7½f; rates a likely contender as recent effort was encouraging.

EW Places: 1/4 ODDS - 2 PLACES

Verdict: KITTEN'S ROMANCE has been a winner twice over this C&D and the abundance of pace up front enhances her claims. Speedy Freeze and Zisisit should also be considered.

Zisisit

Jockey: Rafael Hernandez Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 6-25314

6/4

Comment: Was held in fourth last month in an allowance optional claimer; knows this place inside out (five course wins); despite defeat last time, won an allowance optional claimer on penultimate start; has a competitive shout.

Kitten's Romance

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 81-221

3/1

Comment: Aiming for a third C&D win after her success here last month; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and she is a serious player.

Comment: Successful three times from 13 career runs; comfortably beaten into sixth here over 7½f (allowance optional claimer, behind Kitten's Romance) 48 days ago; a lot on her plate with several rivals in good nick.

Comment: Could not compete with Flying Black when sixth in a claimer three weeks ago upped to 1m½f; winner of four races at this venue; meeting some horses in good form and others appeal more.

Verdict: MAGIC SLIPS can prove superior to his rivals. He might find the race opens up for him with the likelihood of plenty of competition for the lead and the form of his last race has been franked. Lasting Silence and Golden Test should also be on the premises.

Comment: Hasn't really fired since his success in a maiden optional claimer at Woodbine last September; behind Big Baby Henry in a claimer last month when beaten a long way upped to 1m½f; is passed over.
