Short Story Long

Jockey: Amanda Vandermeersch Trainer: Robert Tiller Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 774-5

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth here two weeks ago where he had two of these rivals behind in a maiden claimer; yet to finish better than fourth in his four races; warrants respect.

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Ravendra Raghunath Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 8/787-7

Comment: Beaten a long way in a maiden claimer last Saturday; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at nine and generally been out of sorts of late; makes limited appeal.

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 9l into seventh) four weeks ago in a claimer; useful at this level; should go well despite defeats on last two starts as he scored three runs back and the step up in trip is a plus.

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 31l into tenth) in a claimer on his debut for new trainer (Oaklawn Park) in March; finished second at Woodbine three starts ago and too soon to write him off; has strong claims.

Comment: Good effort when close up a year ago when dropped back to 6½f in a maiden optional claimer; she has been competitive despite being a maiden; returns from a lengthy absence; arguably the one to beat as latest run was an encouraging one and her most recent trackwork catches the eye.

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth here five months ago in a claimer; passed over as this looks a decent race.

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Kevin Attard Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 77256-

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 5l) in a claimer in December, behind two of these; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; should not be far away based on the pick of her form.

Secret Butterfly

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Zeljko Krcmar Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 152-1

Comment: A promoted winner (finished runner-up) when winning with a bit in hand upped to 7f 13 days ago in a claimer; has chalked up two wins from her last four; needs considering as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Sunrise Drive

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Norman McKnight Age/Wt: 7/8-6 F: 45184

Comment: Normally pretty consistent and has a good record at this venue, including four course-and-distance wins; creditable fourth at Oaklawn Park over 1m6f (starter allowance) 20 days ago; warrants respect as return to this trip should be in his favour.

Comment: Held when tenth of 11 in a claimer at Gulfstream Park in March; performed at a higher level than this in his peak and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a ninth career win); holds major claims.
