Verdict: GOLDEN GRIT has to be the first name on the shortlist. He looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and has won once at this venue previously.

Comment: Good effort when close up three weeks ago in a claimer; just the one victory on his CV; higher claiming tag here so up in class; not been able to get his head in front lately so others more appealing.

Jockey: Luis Reyes Trainer: George Bryant Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 5-6372

Paintbrush

Jockey: Iram Diego Trainer: Joaquin Garza Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 8771

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 7-34); had five of these in arrears when winning by three-quarters of a length over 1m½f (optional claimer) last month; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Constitutionality

Jockey: Francisco Perez Trainer: Noel Sanchez Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Running in first race; sire gives plenty of encouragement for 5½f; remains to be seen whether she'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - might be best to watch the betting.

Vietnam Victory

Jockey: David Cabrera Trainer: W Calhoun Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 24-4

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth five weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; track has proven suitable before; now eased in the grades (in for $18k); deserves respect as shown some ability on occasion and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Champagne Stooper

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez Trainer: J Caldwell Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 53671

Comment: Back in the winners' enclosure when winning by 1l in a claimer last month; class riser as runs for a $18k tag here; not hard to turn elsewhere as has not been seen doing much trackwork recently.

Chasing Coyotes

Jockey: Alfredo Juarez Jr Trainer: Dick Cappellucci Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 0-2521

Comment: Successful twice in his last six starts; came out on top by just under 3l over 6f here (claimer) two months ago; can make his presence felt as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and he can cope with this step up in class.

Stealthespotlight

Jockey: Floyd Jr Wethey Trainer: Matt Williams Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4-71

Comment: Snapped losing streak when winning by half a length last month in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $7.5k; could be hard to beat as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months.

Storm Strategy

Jockey: Stewart Elliott Trainer: Steven Asmussen Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 14-463

Comment: Finished third when beaten just under 3l 48 days ago just ahead of Chromerunner (Oaklawn Park) in a claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $7.5k here; can make his presence felt.

Comment: A few throw outs since his success in a maiden special weight at Remington Park in September; beaten 16l into fifth last month in a claimer; claiming value rises from $5k last time; this looks a fair heat so others more persuasive.
