Verdict: RUBY'S GHOST is fancied for this. She can enhance her C&D record, while Linda's Opal looks best of the rest.

Linda's Opal

Jockey: Edgar Zenteno Trainer: Nick Mileni Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 546-31

Comment: Shown recent signs of improvement; readily accounted for her rivals in a maiden special weight, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt 20 days ago; tries dirt for the first time; should be on the premises.

Ruby's Ghost

Jockey: Melanie Pinto Trainer: Michaela Neubauer Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 6-491

Comment: Off the mark at the fourth time of asking when winning by 1l in a maiden stakes on her debut for new trainer last month; looks the part on breeding (by Ghostzapper); much respected with drop in class a positive.

Comment: Was tailed off at Woodbine in December upped to 1m½f in a claimer; returns from an absence here; easy to see her making an impression with return to this trip a plus and shown she can get her head in front.

Comment: Has won at this track; out of the frame (beaten 8l in fourth) over 6½f here (allowance race) in October; encouraging jockey booking; returns from a layoff; may have to settle for supporting role with a few rivals in good form.

Nightsaber

Jockey: O Moreno Trainer: Barbara Bailey Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 579-84

Comment: Split a number of these rivals two weeks ago when dropped down to 5f in a claimer; one win to her name was achieved a fair way back; should go close as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and the step up in trip is a plus.

Comment: Third but beaten only 8l on his debut over 5f here when not far behind Video Evidence at 13-2 last month; this son of Signature Red looks the part on breeding; can have a big say with that experience under his belt and dropping in class.

Blue Max

Jockey: Edgar Zenteno Trainer: Kevin Buttigieg Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 4-12445

Comment: Was fifth of eight, beaten 13l, over 6½f here (optional claimer) three weeks ago; has proven competitive in a race of this nature and not at his best last time although had previously shown useful form; holds major claims if replicating the best of his form.

Valley Victory

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: C Rabstein Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 721-06

Comment: Not far behind Blue Max when sixth 20 days ago in an optional claimer; is passed over.

Verdict: ATTESTATION is hard to look beyond. He is a proven winner and is expected to confirm authority with Defogger after they met last time out.

Rye's My Guy

Jockey: Kirk Johnson Trainer: George Newland Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1625-2

Comment: Beaten just over 1l 20 days ago in a claimer; has won here before; likely to go well.

Bill Needle

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Ken Albu Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 1423-5

Comment: Grade looks suitable and one-time useful operator; far from disgraced (beaten 4l) over 5f here (claimer) four weeks ago on debut for this trainer; likely to be in contention as shown he can win fairly recently and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Forty Flash

Jockey: O Moreno Trainer: Barbara Bailey Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 07-39

Comment: Beaten a fair way when ninth last week upped to 7f in a claimer; perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling and hasn't won for a while; his best looks to be behind him and makes little appeal.

Attestation

Jockey: Christopher Husbands Trainer: Joseph Humber Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 621314

Comment: Managed two wins in his last four outings; solid effort here over 5½f (allowance race), finished ahead of Defogger three weeks ago on debut for this trainer; now racing on dirt for the first time; notable jockey booking; can make a decent bid.

Defogger

Jockey: Terry Husbands Trainer: Ken Albu Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 2414-7

Comment: Finished behind Attestation when finishing last of seven 20 days ago in an allowance race; a C&D winner; may have to settle for supporting role.

Boston Bay

Jockey: Edgar Zenteno Trainer: Kenneth Smith Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 138-43

Comment: Likes this combination of C&D; beaten third of five over 6f here (claimer); closely matched with Sehr Schoen on that running two weeks ago; likely to be in contention as shown he can get his head in front.

Sehr Schoen

Jockey: Pierre Mailhot Trainer: Robert Warner Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 015815

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from his last five; finished last of five (behind Boston Bay) 13 days ago in a claimer; easy enough to take on.
