Comment: Beaten 19l (fifth) in a stakes last month upped to 6½f; track has proven suitable before; looks the part on breeding (by Nyquist); dropped in grade to claiming level so should make a bold bid.

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Gloria Haley Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 45-55

Comment: Held in fifth upped to 1m six weeks ago in a maiden claimer; this now her seventh attempt to get off the mark; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.
