Verdict: HARPER CITY looks to have a form edge on the strength of his latest success and is going for his third course success. Kawacatoose and Its Just Money are more names to consider.

Kawacatoose

Jockey: Juan Crawford Trainer: Beverley Chubb Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 5/51-4

Comment: Has won five times here; not disgraced when fourth of eight on debut outing for new trainer 50 days ago in an optional claimer; is of interest.

Its Just Money

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Steven Flint Age/Wt: 5/8-7 F: 147134

Comment: Can be a player at this level and produced a string of consistent efforts; split a number of these rivals over 6f here (claimer) three weeks ago; in the mix as jockey does well from inside draws here.

Blame J D

Jockey: Austin Adams Trainer: Norman McKnight Age/Wt: 7/8-5 F: 037764

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) last month in a claimer; perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Banker's Hours

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Danny Yu Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 52-628

Comment: May not have any more improvement left and not won for some time now; split a number of these rivals over 6f here (claimer) when beaten 6l last month; others appeal more as best days now look to behind him.

Jockey: Rico Walcott Trainer: Sid Attard Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 7661-3

Comment: Finished third but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) in an optional claimer five weeks ago; warrants respect as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and shown she can get her head in front.

Foxy Diva

I Have An Idea

Jockey: Austin Adams Trainer: Abraham Katryan Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 746-6

Comment: Possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability and not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Woodbine in September; not beaten too far when sixth of eight here over 7f (optional claimer) last month; her best looks to be behind her and she can be taken on.

Comment: Creditable effort (went off 28-1) to finish third in an optional claimer last month; knows this place inside out (five course wins) but may have reached limits of his ability; others more persuasive as best days now look to behind him.

Nichiren

Jockey: Jason Hoyte Trainer: Carlos Grant Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 9-547

Comment: Could be at the extent of his ability and a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); held in seventh separating re-opposing rivals Mamba On Three and Tricky Magician in a similar race 35 days ago on first outing for new trainer in an optional claimer; not hard to look elsewhere as no great record on second run back following a layoff.

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Nathan Squires Age/Wt: 4/8-6 F: 8-1764

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4½l) 14 days ago in a claimer; has a reasonable shout if duplicating the form of his most recent win.
