Verdict: MATSQUI is a strong pick. She was behind Wirly Girly last time but can now turn that form around and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front.

Wirly Girly

Jockey: Kerron Khelawan Trainer: Pat Jarvis Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 11251-

Comment: Impressive record of three wins from five runs here; had a couple of these behind when winning by half a length in October upped to 1m½f in an allowance optional claimer; is a player.

Comment: Finished last of three in an allowance optional claimer in October upped to 1m½f; consistent performer and successful three times from 17 career outings (6f-1m1f); has struck up a good partnership with this rider, who is back on board; latest effort was encouraging so is respected.

Comment: Last of eight in December at Woodbine in an optional claimer; meeting some horses in good form and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Comment: Ran well in a stakes in August and successful three times from 6½f to 1m½f; behind Wirly Girly in October when finishing a close-up second in an allowance optional claimer; plenty of appeal as does have winning form.

Verdict: BROKE AN BROKEN gets the vote. He can enhance his C&D record and can confirm placings with Parker Point and Ave's In Command, who were behind him when last seen.

Ave's In Command

Jockey: Christopher Mamdeen Trainer: Robert Maybin Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 51114-

11/10

Comment: A prolific winner over this C&D; creditable effort behind Broke An Broken in October when fourth beaten just under 3l in a claimer; notable jockey booking; deserves respect.

4/1

Comment: Successful four times from 32 career outings (6f-1m½f) but no longer appears to be improving; finished fourth but subsequently promoted to third in October in a claimer; others more persuasive as not in the habit of winning recently.
