Verdict: GIANT AT WORK is expected to get the job done. She has a clear chance if excused an unimpressive latest run. Twirly can give the selection most to think about.

Immigration Law

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Bruce Levine Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 96-82

Comment: Runner-up of five when sent off 14-1 over 1m1f at Aqueduct (maiden claimer) with Calling An Audible just behind last month.

Twirly

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 650

Comment: Yet to finish better than fifth in her three races; finished tenth of 12 in a maiden special weight at Aqueduct three weeks ago; now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time so likely to be a threat.

Calling An Audible

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Edward Barker Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 4-3263

Comment: Without a win after 14 runs but seems to be improving based on last two runs; beaten 12l when third of five last month upped to 1m1f (behind Immigration Law) at Aqueduct in a maiden claimer; must go on the shortlist.

Houdini's Bride

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Michelle Nevin Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 32-80

Comment: Four-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; finished tenth, beaten 18l, two weeks ago in a maiden special weight; dropping in class but others more appealing.

Gabby's Legacy

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Thomas Morley Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 04-354

Comment: Held in fourth in a maiden special weight at Aqueduct last month; not yet off the mark in five attempts although has finished third; first-time blinkers fitted; must be high on list if replicating best previous efforts and is now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer.

Jockey: Favinho Pino Villa Trainer: Rachael Keithan Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 8-56

Bells Beach

Toned Up

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 7-2233

Comment: May not have any more improvement left and a while since her last success; not beaten that far in third (9l, Aqueduct) 48 days ago in a claimer; up in class (in for $50k here, $35k tag last time); is passed over as has not been able to land a meaningful blow at this level recently.

Kiss Me Hardy

Comment: Finished last of six (Aqueduct) last month on first outing for new trainer in a claimer; class riser as runs for a $50k tag here; she can be taken on in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Comment: Not had much racing - fifth outing here; from a respected trainer; ran encouragingly when 4½l second in an allowance race (Keeneland) last month; can make her presence felt.

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 7l, finishing fourth of seven (Keeneland, not far behind Prides Crossing) last month in an allowance race; not had much racing - fifth outing here; in first-time blinkers; can't be ruled out as shown she can win fairly recently.

Comment: Recent efforts have generally been solid; not won for some time now; disappointed when fourth of six in an allowance race at Laurel Park (sloppy track) last month; this looks a fair heat so others are preferred.

Verdict: BROCKNARDINI looks the one to back. She likes to stalk the early speed and can confirm superiority with Being Betty and Snowy Evening who were behind her when last seen.

Snappin Buttons

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Antonio Arriaga Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 16534

Comment: Fair effort (beaten 4l) 13 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; is of interest as shown she can win fairly recently and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: William Morey Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 114-

Comment: Split Snowy Evening (third) and Bernt Again (fifth) when not beaten too far in November at Aqueduct in an allowance optional claimer; winning form over C&D; on target twice in her last three outings; returns from an absence here; hard to dismiss.

Comment: Problems at the start (problems in the gate) in October when beaten 5l in an allowance optional claimer; a C&D winner; hit the bar in a stakes last June; has had some time off; goes well fresh and needs to be respected.

Bernt Again

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Domenick Schettino Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 5-77

Verdict: SNOWYTE looks set for a big run. She could capitalise if the leaders go too fast, while Mazayaat isn't out of it.

Meursault

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 34

Comment: Represents a powerful yard and looks the part on breeding (by Tapit); out of the frame (beaten 7l in fourth) when close behind Snowyte over 7f (maiden special weight) at Keeneland 34 days ago; can figure as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred daughter of Tapit and has shown she can be competitive fairly recently.

Comment: Without a win in four attempts although has finished second; finished third when 13-8 at Keeneland over 7f (maiden special weight) last month; impressed on most recent trackwork and she's worth a go.

Chasing Daylight

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 2-48512

Comment: Encouraging effort when second at Aqueduct over 7f (allowance race) three weeks ago; can boast winning form over this C&D.

Amy's Light

Jockey: Christian Maragh Trainer: Edmund Pringle Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 495-41

Comment: Back to winning ways when winning by just under 4l at Aqueduct two months ago in a claimer; has been found wanting at this level before so others appeal more.

Into Stardom

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 21

Comment: Scored narrowly in a maiden optional claimer when opening her account at the second time of asking at Aqueduct (muddy track) 39 days ago; from a top stable; trainer is ticking along nicely; more on her plate but should have every chance.

Lika Rolling Stone

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Antonio Arriaga Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 8-22121

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-16); caused 40-1 upset here over 7f (claimer) on debut for new trainer 14 days ago; steps up in grade so one to tread carefully with.

Verdict: SHADOW BANKING is hard to look beyond. He runs for a yard with a good record with newcomers, while Antisocial and Discotheque are among the dangers.

Antisocial

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Jorge Duarte Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 33-

Comment: Could not manage better than third here over 7f (maiden special weight) in October; ran well in a stakes in September and related to Grade 1 winner Keeper Ofthe Stars; returns from an absence here; entitled to respect.

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Bruce Levine Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 246-65

Shadow Banking

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sole newcomer in the field; attractively bred son of Maclean's Music; Chad Brown debutants have a strong record at Belmont At The Big A; major player as some good aspects to his profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Discotheque

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 77-222

Comment: Went down by just over 2l when second 39 days ago at Gulfstream Park in a maiden special weight; has shown some recent improvement and consistent lately; can be on the premises if confirming promise shown last time.

Snare

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Robert Ribaudo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 57-

Comment: Was seventh of ten, beaten 23l, at Aqueduct (sloppy track) over Christmas with Nod To Tran and Henry's Hope behind in a maiden special weight; nicely bred (by Vekoma); returning from a layoff here; can be on the premises as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come.

Comment: Without a win in six attempts although has finished third; sixth of seven beaten 20l in a maiden special weight at Aqueduct 47 days ago; this looks a fair heat so hard to entertain.

Jockey: Luis Rivera Jr Trainer: David Duggan Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 7

Comment: Well behind the sixth, Nod To Tran, at Aqueduct when beaten a fair way on first start with blinkers fitted at 18-1 47 days ago; couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.

Benny The Waiter

Comment: Went down by just over 2l when third in a maiden special weight last month on debut outing for new trainer at Gulfstream Park, managing to get across to lead from stall seven upped to 7½f; looks the part on breeding (by Blue Point); likely to be in contention.
