Verdict: SUPERNAL looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and has been a winner over this C&D. Devil Among Us and Lord Tripping are also respected.

Lord Tripping

Jockey: Adrian Escobedo Trainer: Ryan Hanson Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 2691-4

Comment: Respectable effort finishing fourth (beaten just under 2l) in January when leading early from a wide draw in a starter allowance; useful in this grade; should be thereabouts if replicating the best of his form.

Cody Boy

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Javier Sierra Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 8-2717

Comment: Has won here before; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4½l) 14 days ago in a claimer; facing a testing assignment and hard enough to fancy.

Comment: Finished last of eight over 6½f here (allowance optional claimer) when leading early from a wide draw 50 days ago; has winning C&D form to his name; useful at this level; entitled to respect as shown he can win fairly recently and was a winner two starts ago.

Supernal

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: S Knapp Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 7-6152

Comment: Finished second when 5-4 in a claimer 16 days ago; a C&D winner; has strong claims despite moving up in class and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

Runkerry

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Gloria Haley Age/Wt: 8/9-0 F: 62-314

Comment: Split Disobey and Unbridled Vision when not beaten too far last month in an allowance optional claimer; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; can't go on the shortlist as best days now look to behind him.

Piper's Causeway

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: Jesus Uranga Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 2-5210

Disobey

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Sam Scolamieri Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 5-162

Unbridled Vision

Jockey: Reylu Gutierrez Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 117-6

Comment: Respectable effort to finish sixth, beaten just under 5l over 6½f here (allowance optional claimer) when not far behind Disobey (second) and Runkerry (fourth) four weeks ago; managed two wins in his last four outings; far from exposed; showed promise in workout last week and by no means ruled out.

Bigredsandribeyes

Jockey: Reylu Gutierrez Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 56/4-5

Comment: Has shown some ability, knocking on the door on occasions but attempting to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking (fourth his best finish so far); no impression when fifth of eight in a maiden claimer last month on debut for this trainer; may have to settle for supporting role.

Goodbye Dal

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Jose Bautista Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 5326-

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; finished sixth, beaten a fair way at Emerald Downs in August in a stakes; first attempt in claiming company; returning from a layoff here; might find this company a little easier but can be taken on.

Honor The Cat

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Philip Oviedo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6

Comment: Seemed to find life tough on his debut last month (at Santa Anita over 6½f) when held comfortably behind two of these; hard to make him a bet based on first race.

Uncle Evco

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: H Palma Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -472

Comment: Good effort when close up in a maiden claimer two months ago; although a maiden, he has shown ability; class riser as runs for a $50k tag here; he's a serious player if reproducing most recent effort.

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4

Nation

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: /36-34

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 11l into fourth) in a maiden special weight 29 days ago; may still have more to offer with few miles on the clock and has kicked on in his last couple of races; in first-time blinkers now; drops into a maiden claimer for the first time and rates a likely contender.

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: George Papaprodromou Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-6737

Mischief's Thirsty

Jockey: Leonel Camacho Flores Trainer: Melanie McDonald Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 1-3743

Supermazel

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 3-3414

Comment: Split a number of these rivals when a disappointing fourth last month (stumbled at the start) in a claimer; suited by this C&D; can be a player at this level; can be in the mix if replicating the best of his form and he won a claimer two runs back.

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (four from 15 to date); not beaten too far when sixth at Los Alamitos in a claimer last month; claiming tag rises from $3.5k last time; now looks to be past his prime and looks an unlikely winner.

Jockey: Epifanio Garcia Trainer: D Baker Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 7-8936

Comment: A winner on four occasions from 5f to 1m½f but perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling; beaten 15l into sixth last month when he was behind several of these rivals in a claimer; not hard to look beyond him as no longer in his pomp.

Union Wave

Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: Librado Barocio Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 434-89

Comment: Finished last of nine in a claimer upped to this trip, finishing well behind reopposing Supermazel 50 days ago; is a multiple winner at this distance (all wins at this trip); shown signs of promise here and there and prospects.

Brother O' Brien

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Jeff Mullins Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 1-962

Comment: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-15); well held when second in a claimer with three of these rivals behind him last month on debut for this trainer; a leading contender.

Vinny The Coin

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: Genaro Vallejo Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 142543

Comment: Successful in mixed races; bumped at the start at Los Alamitos 35 days ago when involved in the finish in a claimer (mixed); sixth attempt to lose maiden tag in thoroughbred races; produced a string of consistent efforts; sights and claiming tag have been lowered here so ought to be considered.

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: SUNGLOW is the recommendation. She looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and is expected to confirm authority with Auntie after they met last time out.

Madonna Of Loreto

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 45-

Comment: Failed to land a blow when fifth of 11 in a stakes at Del Mar upped to 1m in September; looks the part on breeding (by Caravaggio); back from an absence here; likely to go well now dropping in class and her breeding catches the eye.

She'z The Law

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 24227-

Comment: Beaten 9l in seventh in October in a maiden special weight; signs of improvement on last two runs and this is her level; back from an absence here; should be on the premises as finished second in August.

Auntie

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5

Comment: Not beaten too far (4½l) on her debut over C&D (close behind Sunglow) at 25-1 50 days ago; couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.

Snoozeulose

Jockey: Abel Lezcano Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Follow The Facts (4½f-6f); stable does well here with debutants; hard to fancy unless market points the other way as this looks a fairly competitive event.

Icons Only

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Carla Gaines Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6

Comment: Held when last (beaten 14l) on her debut (3-1) last month over C&D; needs to make above-average progress as has more on her plate in this.

Gladly

Jockey: Assael Espinoza Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Stable has a good record with newcomers; sire gets turf winners; market confidence needed to make her of interest given this is a fairly useful standard to aim at.

Storm Lady

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Carla Gaines Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 323-03

Comment: Split a number of these rivals over 6f here (maiden special weight) when on the premises, finishing third at 11-1 29 days ago; came up short in three starts in Britain; recent display was promising so rates a likely contender.

Arrogarsi

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Tim Yakteen Age/Wt: 4/9-0

Comment: Tim Yakteen-trained newcomers have a healthy record; sire gets turf winners; related to Mo Maverick (winner from 6f up to 1m½f); faces a demanding debut and a watching brief the best policy.

Sunglow

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 94-33

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish third in a maiden special weight; closely matched with Auntie on that running 50 days ago; no wins in two starts in Ireland; should have every chance.

Neema

Jockey: Drayden Dyke Van Trainer: Bob Baffert Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Must be checked in the market coming from these quarters; newcomer by Curlin; sire gets turf winners; workout history jumps off the page hard to ignore.

Harmonique

Jockey: Mike Smith Trainer: Neil Drysdale Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Regular trackwork dispels any fitness concerns; related to Grade 1 winner Battle Of Midway; sire gets turf winners; should be on the premises.
