Verdict: BANGO'S HEAT gets a firm vote. She likes to stalk the early speed and has been very consistent of late. Ada Thorne represents a threat.

Princess Payton

Jockey: Julien Couton Trainer: Tom Wenzel Age/Wt: 6/8-7 F: 3431-

Comment: Came out on top by just under 3l over 5½f here (claimer) in September; has had some time off; higher claiming tag here so up in class; needs considering.

Infinite Love

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Sergio Perez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 3-53237

Comment: Possesses winning form at this track; last of seven here over 6½f (claimer), finishing behind three of these rivals two weeks ago; facing a testing assignment and not hard to turn elsewhere.

Jockey: Akatsuki Tomita Trainer: Vince Gibson Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 3-244

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 2l) splitting Bob's Vai, Shelby Shortstop and Infinite Love upped to 6½f 14 days ago in a claimer; others have more pressing claims as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Smilingatthemoon

Jockey: Frank Alvarado Trainer: Howard Gibson Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 3135-1

Lula Bella

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Candelario Villamar Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 3-16471

Comment: Landed a narrow success in a claimer (Turf Paradise) four weeks ago; successful twice in her last five starts; recent win points to her being able to handle class rise so should be thereabouts.

Bango's Heat

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 142222

Comment: Producing consistent form; couldn't quite get the job done when 4-5 second (Turf Paradise) last month in a claimer; lower claiming tag should make this easier and is a big player.

Sorority Party

Jockey: Carlos Montalvo Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 3-77124

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; can be a player at this level; not far behind Bango's Heat when fourth at Turf Paradise last month in a claimer; claiming tag now upped from $4.5k; can give it a good shot as shown she can win fairly recently and the longer distance is likely to help.

Shelby Shortstop

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Alexis Martinez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 66746

Comment: Not disgraced in sixth in a claimer when separating a number of reopposing rivals two weeks ago; possesses winning form at this track; not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Turf Paradise in December; meeting some horses in good form and others more persuasive.

Smokemonthecliff

Jockey: David Haldar Trainer: Blaine Wright Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 21264-

Comment: Respectable effort (beaten 3l) here over 6½f (claimer) in August when just behind Infinite Love; winning form over C&D; now down in class (in for $5k from $8k); returns from a layoff; she has a shout if duplicating the form of her most recent win.

Ada Thorne

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Jorge Rosales Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 6811

Comment: Winner of two of her four runs to date and bidding for hat-trick; gained a just over 5l success in a claimer 15 days ago; recent win points to her being able to handle class rise so is a player.

Bob's Vai

Comment: Had a number of these behind her in a claimer on debut outing for new trainer 14 days ago when only just held upped to 6½f; if she is able to build on her most recent effort then shouldn't be far away.

Conquest Secret

Jockey: Jose Rodriguez Trainer: Hilario Perez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 5-2187

Comment: Finished last of seven at Turf Paradise dropped back in distance on debut for this trainer five weeks ago in a claimer; remains a maiden in thoroughbred racing; passed over as this is a fairly competitive event.

Coastal Waters

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Serjio Garcia Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 652333

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts; close up behind Pour On The Cole when third two weeks ago in a claimer; should not be far away as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and his recent effort was encouraging.

Stephen James

Jockey: Julien Couton Trainer: Mary Pirone Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 555-8

Comment: Finished last of eight here over 6f (claimer) 15 days ago; C&D has proven suitable before; been generally quiet since successful in a claimer at Emerald Downs in August; claiming tag drops to $5k (from $8k); unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Club Mesquite

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Justin Evans Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 53382

Comment: Winner of five starts (range of trips from 6f to 1m½f) and better than this level in his prime; beaten only narrowly on his debut for new trainer last week in a claimer; tag has been dropped to $5k; latest effort was encouraging so warrants plenty of respect.

Senor Del Campo

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Jose Puentes Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 3/313-

Comment: Third last March, only beaten a short head, (Golden Gate Fields); closely matched with Rich Gold on that running in a claimer; not seen for some time now; calmer waters here (in for $5k, $8k tag last time); shown he can get his head in front so has to be taken seriously.

Sunny Spot

Jockey: Jose Rodriguez Trainer: Hilario Perez Age/Wt: 10/8-10 F: 463647

Comment: Although no show last time out, he had been running consistently well prior to that but may not have any more improvement left; unable to land a blow in seventh in a claimer at Turf Paradise four weeks ago; now eased in the grades (in for $5k); easy enough to take on.

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Cobra Jet; registered first success at the fourth time of asking in a maiden claimer when scoring with a bit in hand (Santa Anita) last month; may find this tougher stepping up from maiden claiming level has questions to answer.

Comment: Finished 11th of 12 at Fair Grounds in March in a stakes; this is her level and although below par last time out, is better than that judged on previous efforts; form of the yard is a plus; clear chance if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and down in class.

Clubhouse Drama

Jockey: Isaias Enriquez Trainer: Frank Lucarelli Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 5-42213

Comment: Has found improvement of late; respectable effort in defeat (beaten just over 4l) in an allowance race when splitting two of these 14 days ago; shown she can win fairly recently and could be interesting.

Verdict: JAZZY LOVE has winning C&D form to her name and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front. Ready To Gig, Lucy L and Slice Of Pie should also be in the hunt.

Libby's Gambit

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 372158

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; finished last of eight in a claimer (sloppy track) last week; others are preferred.

Slice Of Pie

Jockey: Isaias Enriquez Trainer: Frank Lucarelli Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 70-166

Comment: Winning form over C&D; admirably consistent; not disgraced when sixth over 4½f at Turf Paradise (claimer) in March; hard to ignore as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and she has won after a layoff previously.

Big Mama Thornton

Jockey: Frank Alvarado Trainer: Robert Bean Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 2762-

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of eight, beaten 3l) in September at Fresno in a claimer; last won over C&D in 2023; claiming value now drops from $4k; back from an absence here.

Topanticipation

Jockey: David Haldar Trainer: Jorge Maravilla Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 4-8P64

Comment: Finished fourth beaten just under 3l in a claimer when ahead of a couple of these (sloppy track) last Saturday; five wins to her name - from 6f to 1m4f; others have more pressing claims as now looks to be past her prime.

Square Footage

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Jose Navarro Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 536U-

Comment: Winning form over C&D; problems at the start (bobbled) in a claimer when failing to finish in September; returns from a layoff; concerns about her getting away on terms so hard enough to fancy.

Hey Barmaid

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: Joe Toye Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 362246

Comment: Hardly a model of consistency; has won over C&D; split a number of these rivals at Turf Paradise last month posting a respectable effort to finish sixth in a claimer; claiming tag drops from $4k.

Lucy L

Jockey: Akatsuki Tomita Trainer: Rigoberto Velasquez Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 55235-

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature and has won six races from 6f to 1m½f; not disgraced in fifth in September in a claimer; claiming tag now upped from $2.5k; returns from a break here; should not be far away if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Confidence Builder

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Miguel Hernandez Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 327428

Comment: Likes this combination of C&D; behind several of these over 5½f at Turf Paradise (claimer) when eighth of 11 last month; poses a threat as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Haughty Kitty

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Cc Perkinson Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 241676

Comment: Has maintained her consistent level of form; creditable effort to finish sixth, beaten just under 4l in a claimer (sloppy track) last week; finished ahead of Libby's Gambit but was behind Topanticipation.

Ready To Gig

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Howard Gibson Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 1-76235

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts and three-time winner in her career (from 6f-1m½f); creditable fifth in a claimer last Sunday upped to 1m½f; now a lower claiming tag ($3.5k from $5k) so down in class; capable if in the mood so could have a say.

Jazzy Love

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Joe Toye Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 16-333

Comment: Not beaten far three weeks ago at Turf Paradise in a claimer; brings winning C&D form to the table; running consistently; in with a big shout as shown she can win fairly recently and in off a lower claiming tag.
