Comment: Finishing runner-up was a good effort in October (Chantilly) in a Group 3; successful twice from nine starts in France and Britain, picking up plenty of prize-money in the process; first attempt at a claimer; the Chad Brown outfit is running hot currently; has to be considered; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and she has joined a top trainer ahead of her debut on these shores.

7/1

Comment: He meets the required standard ability wise; not beaten too far when sixth at Aqueduct in an allowance optional claimer splitting Born Dancer, Cable Ready and Gem Mint Ten in November; capable if in the mood so has a decent shout.

Comment: Shown all winning form at Saratoga (two successes); failed to land a blow when fifth of seven in a starter allowance (Gulfstream Park) 45 days ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so one to tread carefully with.

Comment: Likes this combination of C&D; unable to land a blow in seventh over 1m at Aqueduct (allowance optional claimer, sloppy track, behind Mighty Atlas) six months ago; meeting some horses in good form and looks opposable.

40/1

Comment: A while since his last success and form could be levelling off; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Aqueduct (beaten 8l) in an optional claimer last month on first run for his current trainer upped to 1m; up in class (in for $45k); a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and hard to imagine him winning.

Fire's Out

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Jorge Duarte Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 3-

11/4

Comment: Fair debut effort over 7f here at 20-1 in October; Flameaway gets winners on the turf; related to Grade 3 winner Dreamfyre; returns from a layoff here; she ought to improve for experience and could be in the shake up.

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 3

4/1

Comment: Held third of four but was making her first appearance (Aqueduct, 7f) at 85-40 in February; represents a powerful stable; the yard continues to be among winners recently; leading claims as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come and the penny could well drop today.

Just Add Water

8/1

Comment: Mendelssohn gets winners on the turf; related to Skyler's Starship (winner from 5½f up to 7f); market confidence needed to make her of interest given this is a tough task for her first assignment.

Sugar Run

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Mark Hennig Age/Wt: 3/8-6

10/1

Comment: Sire capable of getting smart offspring; related to Medimpact, winning form over 5f-1m; remains to be seen whether she'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - this one is best watched.

Cahira's Song

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 45

Hidden Agenda

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Robert Johnston Age/Wt: 3/8-6

25/1

Comment: This daughter of Munnings looks the part on breeding; sibling of Pawky (1m½f winner); sire gets turf winners; faces fairly tall order so probably best watched.

Laylani Lou

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Carlos Martin Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: From the same family as Flabbergasted, a winner over 1m1f; sire gets turf winners; newcomer by Malibu Moon; seems to have been working encouragingly and could be thereabouts.

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts and far from exposed; good effort when just over 2l runner-up at Keeneland last month in a maiden claimer; dropped in distance here.
