Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Aqueduct (beaten 6l) in a claimer last month; tag has been dropped to $30k; it's a bonus she's stepping back up to 1m has strong claims.

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; shed maiden status at the seventh time of asking when in front by 2½l at Aqueduct last month in a maiden claimer; despite that Aqueduct success, makes little appeal.

7/2

Comment: Beaten 14l when fourth of five in a starter allowance at Aqueduct on her debut for this trainer 40 days ago; has proven competitive in a race of this nature and has kicked on in her last couple of races; has to be taken seriously if replicating the best of her form and was successful two starts back.

Comment: Beaten three-quarters of a length last month (Aqueduct) in a claimer; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; can give it a good shot as she's impressed clockwatchers enough to suggest this higher tag not insurmountable.

Comment: Wins-runs record of 3-14; respectable effort finishing fourth (beaten 3l) at Aqueduct over 7f (starter allowance, muddy track) last month; his recent speed figures are down on several rivals here so one to tread carefully with.

Comment: Consistent lately; finishing runner-up was a good effort when ahead of Roagna in October in an allowance race; a leading player.

Comment: Split Red Burgundy (second) and Tongue Twister (last) in an allowance race at Aqueduct when beaten 8l in November; can boast winning form over this C&D; this is competitive and passed over.

Comment: Finished last of nine (Aqueduct) in December in an allowance race; brings winning C&D form to the table; can be a player at this level; should go well as she finished second in November.

Comment: Fair debut effort over 6f at Aqueduct at 7-5 six weeks ago; from a powerful trainer and has a nice pedigree (by Speightstown); arguably the one to beat as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred daughter of Speightstown and she knows more about the job in hand.

Sota Summers

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-6

9/2

Comment: Represents a stable with a strong record here with newcomers; this daughter of Omaha Beach looks the part on breeding; sire gets turf winners; from the same family as Glyne Beach, a winner over 6f; should go close with signs of encouragement in profile and the current yard form is another tick.

Key Actress

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -

11/2

Comment: Newcomer by Mo Town; related to Epione, winning form over 6f-1m; sire does get winners on the turf; yard capable of preparing a newcomer to win; has a chance with signs of encouragement in profile and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.
