Brooklynn Drew

Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 370325

Comment: Fair effort in a claimer at Ellis Park when splitting two of these last month; eased in class with tag standing at $20k here; could be hard to beat if confirming promise shown last time.

10/3

Comment: Went down by a head over 6½f at Del Mar (claimer) four weeks ago; only once has she got into the winners' enclosure but normally pretty consistent; she's an attractive contender as lower claiming tag should make this easier and her recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Attempting to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking (fifth his best finish so far); finished tenth of 12 in a maiden claimer last month, showing early speed to lead from a wide draw at Ellis Park when first-time blinkers didn't help; claiming tag drops to $20k (from $50k); running on dirt for the first time; definite chance.
