Spotlight: Got the job done in an allowance optional claimer by a nose with Final Verdict (third) and Antares (sixth) behind 28 days ago; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 3-10); peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so warrants plenty of respect.

Spotlight: Has managed 16 wins from 46 career runs; won by just under 2l in an allowance optional claimer at Gulfstream Park two months ago; now moved up in the grades (in for $75k); his best looks to be behind him and looks an unlikely winner.

Spotlight: Producing consistent form; creditable effort to finish fifth, beaten 2½l when dropped back to this trip two months ago in an allowance optional claimer; this looks a fair heat so only limited appeal.

Spotlight: Last of six in an allowance optional claimer at Churchill Downs in May; successful five times from 23 career runs; capable of making an impact.

Spotlight: Produced a string of consistent efforts; not disgraced when third over 6f at Belmont At The Big A (stakes) 35 days ago; should not be far away as shown he can get his head in front and drop into claiming grade should help.

Spotlight: Cut above this level at his peak and a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 7-30; fair third of eight in a stakes (Lone Star Park) 35 days ago; drop back to claiming level so needs considering.

Spotlight: Beaten narrowly four weeks ago in an optional claimer; deeper waters here (in for $75k here, $50k tag last time); step up to allowance company will make life tougher so not easy to fancy.

Spotlight: Has been consistent of late; stumbled at the start in a claimer at Belmont At The Big A when third, beaten 1½l 35 days ago; warrants respect as shown he can get his head in front.

Spotlight: Not beaten too far when seventh here in an allowance optional claimer two months ago; readily passed over as a few rivals look in good form.

Spotlight: Brings winning C&D form to the table; normally pretty consistent; a neck third to the reopposing Twisted Filigree 28 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; should be in the mix.

Spotlight: Not beaten far when second four weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; performed at a higher level than this in his peak; brings winning C&D form to the table; now tackles shorter distance.

Spotlight: Finished behind Acoustic Ave when beaten 17l last month in an allowance optional claimer; career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-15); down in trip here.

Spotlight: Useful in his prime and a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 7-19; ended losing run when winning by 1½l at Aqueduct three months ago in an allowance race.

Spotlight: Can be a player at this level and normally pretty consistent; solid effort (Finger Lakes) on his first start for this trainer last month in a stakes; might find this easier.

Spotlight: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-13); bobbled at the start when winning with a bit in hand two weeks ago in a claimer; steps down in trip; claiming value rises from $30k last time.

Spotlight: Came up a bit short, beaten just over 2l when favourite, last month in an allowance optional claimer; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so one to tread carefully with.
