Misty Muppet

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: Mark Rheinford Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 3333-3

Comment: Ran a solid race finishing third in a claimer in January; a long time since her last win but normally pretty consistent; claiming tag now upped to $32k.

Blue Fashion

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Marcelo Polanco Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 37-134

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth of six in an optional claimer (bumped at the start) last month; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as a few rivals look in good form.

Jockey: Damian Cruz Trainer: Robert Lucas Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 024157

Comment: Problems at the start (stumbled) two weeks ago (Turf Paradise) upped to this trip when last of seven in a claimer; claiming tag rises to $32k here; hard to make a case for her as this is competitive.

Petite Treat

Jockey: Welfin Orantes Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 13-51

Miss Meagher

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: /8109-

Comment: Last of nine in an allowance optional claimer in October; good strike-rate in Ireland, winning once from two starts; returns from a layoff here; stable going well a plus; winner three starts back and too soon to write her off; she should go close.

Lady Maryann

Mucho Magical

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Alfredo Marquez Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 3-81

Comment: Gained narrow success in a maiden claimer when getting off the mark at the third time of asking two months ago; claiming tag now upped from $20k; stepping out of a maiden claimer and this looks tougher so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Lady Of Sky

Jockey: Sofia Barandela Trainer: Jorge Periban Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 16

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 9l) two months ago in an allowance optional claimer; can be on the premises as shown she can win fairly recently and her most recent trackwork catches the eye.

Lovin' On The Run

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Carla Gaines Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 37-76

Comment: Poor strike-rate; unable to land a blow when sixth of nine here over 1m (allowance optional claimer) 49 days ago; likely player as has been on the scene in the recent past and her latest trackwork was positive.

Naughty Niko

Jockey: Eduard Fernandez Rojas Trainer: Jairo Monascal Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 5-4668

Comment: Hasn't won for a while and may not have any more improvement left; close up behind Red On Sunday when last in a claimer (Los Alamitos) on first run for his current trainer two weeks ago; up in class (in for $5k here, $4k tag last time); could be an uphill struggle as has not been able to land a meaningful blow at this level recently.

Comment: Admirably consistent and can be a player at this level; finished sixth but only beaten just under 5l over 4½f at Los Alamitos (claimer) two weeks ago; class riser as runs for a $5k tag here; has strong claims.

My Bucket List

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: Antonio Garcia Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 43-312

Comment: Had a bunch of these rivals behind him when just denied last month in a claimer; a winner over C&D; showing consistent form; should not be far away as showed promise in workout a week ago and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Divine Rascal

Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: Genaro Vallejo Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 4315

Comment: Performed at a higher level than this in his peak and he meets the required standard ability wise; out of the money, beaten just over 2l, when fifth last month in a claimer; more than capable if on song so should be on the premises.

Wicklow Hills

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: Jesus Uranga Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 3-3125

Comment: Victories in mixed races to his name; a close fifth at Los Alamitos four weeks ago in a claimer (mixed); one-time useful operator and string of consistent efforts of late; warrants consideration as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and shown he can win fairly recently.

Jockey: Sofia Barandela Trainer: Manuel Badilla Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 580-0

Comment: Finished towards the rear of 13 here over 6f (claimer) when behind a number of the horses he faces here last month; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-10 but needs to improve on balance of recent form; hard enough to fancy.

Bobby's Alibi

Jockey: Hugo Herrera Trainer: Sally Rivera Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 3255

Comment: First-time blinkers had no impact at Los Alamitos over 4½f (starter allowance (mixed)) when last of five 48 days ago; possible blip last time out as had been running well previously but a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2022); is passed over as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Verdict: NIKOLINA rates a strong recommendation. She looks a game sort and met trouble in running when runner-up most recently, while Moonlit Courage and Lead The Way Kay are more names to consider.

Perfect Smile

Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: From the same family as Next Tuesday, a winner over 5½f; trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; market can guide as regards prospects of this one opening her account at the first attempt.

A Friend Of Mine

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 4/9-0

Comment: Trainer excels with debutants here; related to Grade 2 winner Desert Dawn; this daughter of Mineshaft looks the part on breeding; should figure with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Lead The Way Kay

Jockey: Mike Smith Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sibling of Delitefull Hart (6½f winner); should go close as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Insolenta

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 78

Comment: Lightly raced with this just her third appearance; beaten 9l (eighth) six weeks ago in a maiden special weight; first attempt in claiming company; hard enough to fancy despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Moonlit Courage

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: R Mandella Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8
