Comment: Missed out by 1½l at Mahoning Valley where she had two of these rivals behind 19 days ago in a claimer; has won four times over course and distance and has been consistent of late; in for a $7.5k tag here, up from $6.5k last time; one to take seriously if confirming promise shown last time.

3/1

Comment: Last of six at Mahoning Valley (sloppy track) 26 days ago in an allowance race; can be a player at this level and all three career wins over this trip; can have a big say if excused most recent run as achieved claimer success two runs back and has proved she knows how to win.

Comment: Was a shade disappointing when fourth (4-5) three weeks ago, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw (split Twerk and Jettin Pegasus, Mahoning Valley) in a claimer; a winner over C&D; claiming value rises from $6.5k last time; shortlisted.

33/1

Comment: Four wins over course and distance but has struggled to factor since winning a claimer at Thistledown a year ago; not disgraced when fifth in a claimer (Mahoning Valley) three weeks ago; now moved up in the grades (in for $7.5k); a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and is likely to be vulnerable.

Comment: Has managed five wins from 23 career runs; comfortable winner in a claimer at Mahoning Valley last month; up in class (in for $25k here, $15k tag last time); despite that Mahoning Valley success, not one to rely on.

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just under 4l) 27 days ago (Mahoning Valley) when having two of these behind in an allowance race; admirably consistent and course specialist who has won three times here; can give it a good shot if building on most recent effort.

2/1

Comment: Beaten 11l (fifth, sloppy track) at Mahoning Valley 26 days ago in an allowance race; can be a player at this level and has raised her game the last twice; respected if duplicating the form of her most recent win and was a winner two starts ago.

Comment: Producing solid form figures; just the one win to her name; split Sand Wedge and Pootoogook at Mahoning Valley over 1m½f (claimer) when beaten 7l in third 20 days ago; may have to settle for supporting role.

Comment: Solid runner-up three weeks ago (Mahoning Valley, had Beautiful Mandate (third) and Pootoogook (fourth) behind) in a claimer; you have to go back a fair way to find her only win; tag unaltered from last time ($5k).

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 6l in fourth) in a claimer four weeks ago (Mahoning Valley) when not far behind Wiz The Bomb (problems in the gate at the start, dropped back to 5½f) on debut for this trainer; she can be competitive at this level; could be involved if replicating the best of her form and the longer distance is likely to help.

Comment: Finished behind Wiz The Bomb (muddy track) on first run for current trainer when last of nine two weeks ago at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; shown signs of promise here and there and not dismissed.

Comment: Finished seventh, beaten 18l, in a claimer on debut for new trainer (muddy track) at Mahoning Valley two weeks ago; claiming value now drops to $5k; likely player as her peak speed figure over the past year puts her clear and shown she can win fairly recently.
