Spotlight: Not far behind Yes This Time when last 25 days ago (Monmouth Park) in a starter handicap; operating at a lower level than at his peak and useful at this level; one to consider if excused most recent run as achieved optional claimer success two runs back and shown he can win fairly recently.

Spotlight: Has achieved eight wins from 32 career runs; recent form has a decent look to it; respectable effort finishing fourth (beaten just over 4l) when close behind Bill Of Rights last month in an optional claimer; this looks a fair heat so hard to recommend.

Spotlight: Behind three of these rivals over 1m1f at Pimlico (optional claimer) when beaten 8l last month; form has an uneven look to it; has won at this course; steps down in trip.

Spotlight: C&D has proven suitable before; smart performer at one stage; good effort when close up in an optional claimer finished just ahead of Consultant two weeks ago; can be in the thick of things if replicating most recent run.

Spotlight: A course winner; had two of these rivals behind him on his debut for this trainer when on the premises, finishing second 26 days ago in an optional claimer; the trainer is going well; warrants plenty of respect if reproducing most recent effort.

Spotlight: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten just over 2l) last month (split Kendama and Sell Something) in an optional claimer; form has been up and down of late and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2021); easy enough to take on given the strong opposition here.

Spotlight: Successful 11 times from 35 career runs and running consistently; just denied three weeks ago on first outing for new trainer in an optional claimer; now over an extra 2½f.

Spotlight: Far from disgraced (beaten just under 5l) over 1m½f at Delaware Park (optional claimer) on debut for new trainer three weeks ago; is passed over given many of his rivals are in good form.

Spotlight: Successful three times in his last seven starts; has won at this course; not disgraced when third at 13-1 last month in an optional claimer; tag unchanged at $16k.

Spotlight: Finished sixth of ten (just behind Kendama and Prince Khozan) 26 days ago in an optional claimer; he can be competitive at this level but a long time since his last win.

Spotlight: Fair effort (beaten 2½l) on first run for this trainer last month (bumped at the start, Monmouth Park) in a starter handicap; has managed seven wins from 34 career runs and smart performer at his pomp; likely to be thereabouts if reproducing most recent effort.

Spotlight: Not far behind B Determined when sixth in an optional claimer two weeks ago; has scored over C&D; others appeal more as no longer in his pomp.

Spotlight: Chasing a fourth C&D success after a nose win here two months ago; one to take seriously as he can go well fresh and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

Spotlight: He meets the required standard ability wise and smart performer in his prime; not disgraced when fifth at Monmouth Park over 1m½f (claimer) on his first start for this trainer five weeks ago; in for a $16k tag so down in class ($22k last time).
