Verdict: FRONTIER MARSHAL has to be the first name on the shortlist. He likes to stalk the early speed and can confirm placings with Good Yegg, Gunny Sack and Dripping Springs, who were behind him when last seen.

Three Afleet

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Hugh Robertson Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5-6

Comment: Was held in sixth last month in a maiden special weight; must go on the shortlist.

Good Yegg

Jockey: Carlos Ulloa Trainer: Carlos Ramirez Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 66-633

Comment: Has kicked on in his last couple of races; finished third but only beaten 4l in a maiden special weight splitting Frontier Marshal, Gunny Sack and Dripping Springs three weeks ago; easy enough to take on.

Gunny Sack

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Frank Kirby Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 24

Comment: Split a number of these rivals three weeks ago when beaten 17l in a maiden special weight; shown he can be competitive fairly recently and no surprise to see him go well.

Comment: Bids to pull off a hat-trick; bagged a third C&D win three weeks ago (7-2); claiming tag rises from $5k last time; easy enough to swerve as best days now look to behind him.

Lucky Shot

Jockey: Ademar Santos Trainer: Chris Banks Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: -41443

Comment: Has won four times over course and distance and producing consistent form; third but only beaten just under 2l when behind the reopposing We Miss Arlington in a starter allowance (problems in the gate at the start) 28 days ago; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and looks an unlikely winner.

Comment: Was thereabouts (second of seven, 80-1) in a maiden claimer finished just ahead of Tizmeonemoretime (Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing) three weeks ago; has to be respected despite this step up in class and her last run was encouraging.

Jockey: Jareth Loveberry Trainer: Blanca Candelas Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 41223

Comment: Not disgraced when third two weeks ago in an optional claimer; should be in the mix if finding her best form.

Annie's Hope

Jockey: Julio Felix Trainer: Francisco Villa Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 9-02316

Comment: Failed to land a blow when sixth of seven over 1m½f here (claimer) 31 days ago; this is her level; definitely of interest given she won a claimer two runs back and lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Oh Macarena

Jockey: Santiago Gonzalez Trainer: Carl Bigelow Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 5-83

Comment: Only once has she got into the winners' enclosure; had a couple of these behind her when third here four weeks ago on debut outing for new trainer in a claimer; should figure as lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Comment: Got home in front by a short head last month in a claimer; in for a $12.5k tag so up in class ($5k last time); despite that Hawthorne success, easy to oppose.

Code Runner

Jockey: Orlando Mojica Trainer: Hugo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 34151

Comment: Four-time C&D winner, including two weeks ago when finishing ahead of six rivals (evens); useful in his prime; poses a threat as recent win points to him being able to handle class rise and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Comment: Creditable effort behind Code Runner in a claimer when third beaten just under 3l two weeks ago; a multiple C&D winner; class riser as runs for a $5k tag here; now looks to be past his prime and others more appealing.

Comment: Tailed off at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing in August in an optional claimer; good course-and-distance record (three wins); jockey booking is a positive; returns from a layoff; his best looks to be behind him and looks opposable.
