Verdict: ADA THORNE is a firm choice. She could cash in if the leaders go too fast and will be suited by this distance. Solo Un Beso is an interesting candidate.

Linchpin's Locket

Jockey: Francisco Diaz Lopez Trainer: Alan Bozell Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 38518-

Comment: Not far behind Solo Un Beso when eighth at Grants Pass in October in a claimer; stepped up on her last two starts; in for a $2.5k tag so down in class ($4k last time); recently has been finding this claiming level too hot so looks risky.

Another Ten

Jockey: David Haldar Trainer: Howard Gibson Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 21342-

Comment: Not beaten far in a claimer; closely matched with Settler's Cove on that running in August; generally consistent; should give it a bold bid.

Solo Un Beso

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Rigoberto Velasquez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2166-

Comment: Not disgraced when sixth of ten at Grants Pass over 5½f (claimer) in October; moves down to an easier grade (in for $2.5k); one to be interested in if replicating the best of her form.

Settler's Cove

Jockey: Jennifer Whitaker Trainer: Howard Belvoir Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 34225-

Comment: Beaten 10l in fifth in September in a claimer; just the one victory on her CV; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Parker's Fifteen

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: David Martinez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 7-84335

Comment: Not disgraced when fifth of ten at Turf Paradise 47 days ago in a claimer; has a record of 1-20 but she meets the required standard ability wise; drops to a $2.5k tag from $4.5k; good record with Alex Cruz, who is restored to the saddle here; should not be far away as has bits and pieces of decent form.

Jockey: Pablo Castillo Trainer: Michael Lenzini Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 5575-9

Burnin At Midnight

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 0

Comment: Never posed a significant threat on her debut at Santa Anita with blinkers fitted at 40-1 in January; claiming tag drops to $5k (from $50k); shown promise in trackwork; hard to ignore.

Harry's Big Dream

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Debbie Peery Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: -3743

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice and producing consistent form; on the premises when third of eight over 5f at Turf Paradise (maiden claimer) in front of Lovely Bride last month; claiming value rises from $4.5k last time; recent display was promising so should be on the premises.

Comment: Found one too strong when beaten a head three weeks ago at Turf Paradise in a claimer; claiming tag rises from $4.5k last time; the Scott Tubbs outfit is running hot currently; he's an attractive contender as jockey does well from inner gates here.

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Rigoberto Velasquez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 45-826

D K's Crown

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Valentin Garcia Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 9-5774

Comment: Posted respectable effort when beaten just over 2l over 4½f at Turf Paradise (claimer) 49 days ago; has scored over C&D; been generally quiet since successful in a claimer at Emerald Downs in July; now a lower claiming tag ($15k from $16k) so down in class; now looks to be past his prime and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Verdict: PACIFIC ZIP is a proven winner and is proven at the trip. Gold Coast Girl and Poker Alice are interesting.

Bold Daughter

Jockey: David Haldar Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 34-344

Comment: Could be at the extent of her ability and hasn't won for a while; not disgraced when fourth of eight in a claimer (Santa Anita) in March; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; others more persuasive.

Escapefromparadise

Jockey: Pablo Castillo Trainer: Billy Christian Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 6-99864

Comment: Respectable display to finish fourth, beaten just under 5l (Turf Paradise) four weeks ago in a claimer; has scored over C&D; claiming tag now upped from $4k; should be in the mix if building on most recent effort and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Pacific Zip

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 1-345

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 6-25 and better than this level in her prime; respectable effort (beaten 2l) in an optional claimer (Turf Paradise) 45 days ago; trainer going well a plus; difficult to oppose as her jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

A Crown For Kitten

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Jorge Maravilla Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 5546-6

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 9l, finishing sixth of 11 in an optional claimer (dropped to 6f) at Santa Anita two months ago; no longer appears to be improving and largely disappointing since successful in an optional claimer at Golden Gate Fields last June; others more persuasive as now looks to be past her prime.

Gold Coast Girl

Comment: Fair effort in an optional claimer at Turf Paradise three weeks ago; successful twice in her last three starts; has won here; should not be far away.

Kitten's Kid

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Marcelino Trujillo Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 5548-6

Comment: Last of six in January at Los Alamitos (dropped back to 4½f) in a claimer (mixed); successful four times from 6f to 1m½f but generally modest form since claimer success at Pleasanton in July; claiming tag drops from $8k; others have more pressing claims as now looks to be past her prime.

Willing To Burn

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Charles Essex Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 5-483

Comment: Was held in third (Turf Paradise) two months ago in a claimer; has scored over C&D; drops to a $5k tag; her best looks to be behind her and others more likely.

Poker Alice

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Sergio Perez Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 53565

Comment: This trip evidently suits with all three wins over this distance; not beaten too far when fifth here last month in a claimer; tag has been dropped to $5k; should not be ruled out based on the pick of her form and stepping up in trip is a positive.
