Spotlight: Behind three of these rivals in an optional claimer when beaten 9l last month; he can be competitive at this level and not had much racing for his age; should not be ruled out granted a bit more luck as didn't get the rub of the green last time.

Spotlight: Is a two-time winner this year; far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l) when behind the reopposing Coaches Meeting over 1m (optional claimer) three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; a few rivals look in good form so hard enough to fancy.

Spotlight: Behind Coaches Meeting when close second 21 days ago in an optional claimer; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-17); if he can build on his latest effort then one to be interested in.

Spotlight: Sixth behind Coaches Meeting in an optional claimer three weeks ago; boasts winning form over C&D; makes limited appeal as now looks to be past his prime.

Spotlight: Out of the frame when eighth in October (Meadowlands) in a claimer; has won three races from 5½f to 1m½f; back from an absence here; class riser as runs for a $10k tag here; recently has been finding this claiming level too hot so hard to see him involved.

Spotlight: Fair effort when 2½l fifth to Coaches Meeting in an optional claimer on debut for this handler 21 days ago upped to 1m; no wins at this distance and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; easy enough to take on as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Spotlight: Scored narrowly in an optional claimer 21 days ago when he got the better of Joe and several of these; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-19) and going for a hat-trick; he should go close.

Spotlight: Can be a player at this level and string of consistent efforts of late; split a number of these rivals last month when fifth beaten 2½l in an optional claimer; drops to a $12.5k tag; recent effort was creditable so should give it a bold bid.

Spotlight: Beaten 1l in an optional claimer on first run for this trainer at Pimlico last month; certainly not out of it.

Spotlight: Brings winning C&D form to the table; he meets the required standard ability wise; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (7l) here over 1m (optional claimer) last month; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $12.5k).

Spotlight: Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a 13th career win) and good record here of three wins from 22 runs; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Charles Town (beaten 8l, sloppy track) two weeks ago in an optional claimer.

Spotlight: Had a number of these behind him in an optional claimer when on the premises, finishing runner-up on first run for this trainer last month; a winner over C&D; big run on the cards as latest run was an encouraging one.

Spotlight: Creditable effort in fourth (beaten just over 2l) in an optional claimer when separating a number of reopposing rivals last month; may not have any more improvement left and consistency hasn't been his strong suit.

Spotlight: Finished a decent runner-up of seven three weeks ago at Parx in a claimer; producing consistent form and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a ninth career win).
