Dark Thirty

3/1

Comment: Yet to finish better than seventh in her four races; finished out the back (Ellis Park) 37 days ago in a maiden special weight; in the mix as she now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Reign Champagne

Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 32-720

7/2

Comment: Behind Dark Thirty at Ellis Park when beaten 17l (tenth of 11) in July in a maiden claimer; still winless and defeats stacking up (eight on the bounce) and form is hit and miss; claiming value now drops to $30k; makes limited appeal.

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice and may still have more to offer with few miles on the clock; 7l runner-up on debut outing for new trainer last month at Ellis Park in a maiden claimer; rates a likely contender.

Comment: Eight wins to his name - from 6f to 1m½f and consistent performer; a respectable third of eight over 1m1f at Ellis Park (claimer) when ahead of a couple of these on debut for new trainer four weeks ago; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $25k); his best looks to be behind him and there are better alternatives here.

6/1

Comment: Stumbled at the start behind two of these dropped down to 6f at Saratoga two months ago when beaten 10l (sloppy track) in an optional claimer; has won at this track; lightly raced (this just her fourth race); entitled to respect if excused most recent run as achieved maiden special weight success two runs back and she can take this step up in class in her stride.

Comment: Has scored over C&D; signs of improvement on last two runs; not beaten too far (just over 3l) in June in a starter allowance; more than capable if on song so no surprise to see her go well.

Comment: Respectable effort to finish third, beaten just under 2l over 6f at Saratoga (optional claimer, sloppy track) two months ago; finished ahead of Theprincessfactor but was behind Golden Irish; likely to be in contention despite this step up in class and shown she can win fairly recently.
