Developing The Way

Jockey: Amanda Vandermeersch Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 6697-5

Comment: Not disgraced when fifth of eight 28 days ago on his debut for this trainer in a claimer; by no means ruled out if replicating best previous efforts.

Rookie Radar

Jockey: Juan Crawford Trainer: Paula Loescher Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 9-8795

Comment: Useful in his prime and he meets the required standard ability wise; out of the frame (beaten 8l in fifth) nine days ago in a claimer; strong claims as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Rescue That Girl

Jockey: Alexis Sanchez Trainer: Steven Cathcart Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 851-1

Comment: Gained narrow success in a claimer last month upped to this distance; has won two of his four career runs and out to complete a hat-trick; encouraging jockey booking; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and in the mix.

Sehr Schoen

Jockey: Pierre Mailhot Trainer: Robert Warner Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 158156

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing sixth on first run for current trainer 36 days ago in a claimer; has chalked up two wins from his last six; others appeal more.

Under Surveillance

Jockey: Da Sean Gaskin Trainer: Patrick County Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 4-55953

Comment: Not a frequent winner but one-time useful operator; not beaten too far (3l) in a claimer when little between him and Hardware Gap (fifth) three weeks ago; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then definite chance.

Imperial Star

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Paula Loescher Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 6-55064

Defogger

Jockey: Kirk Johnson Trainer: Ken Albu Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 14-76P

Comment: Pulled up when unfancied last month in a claimer; has struggled to factor since winning an allowance race at Fort Erie in October; others have more pressing claims.

Hardware Gap

Jockey: Christopher Husbands Trainer: Roy Agostino Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 598-65

Comment: Beaten 12l 23 days ago (behind Under Surveillance) in a claimer; not won for some time now and could be at the extent of his ability; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and one to tread carefully with.

Bongino

Jockey: Edgar Zenteno Trainer: Nick Mileni Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 7/747-7

Comment: Not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win two years ago) and recent form is unremarkable; held when seventh of ten 53 days ago at Woodbine in a claimer.

Verdict: GRAND AMBITION can prove superior to his rivals. He looks best placed to take advantage if the front-runners go too fast and should always be respected at this venue.

Forty Flash

Jockey: Ismael Mosqueira Trainer: Barbara Bailey Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 7-3956

Comment: Not disgraced when sixth of eight last month in a claimer; not won for some time now and may not have any more improvement left; now looks to be past his prime and he looks up against it.

Hicksy

Jockey: Melanie Pinto Trainer: Joseph Humber Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 26-480

Comment: Successful seven times from 25 career runs but form is hit and miss; not far behind Forty Flash when last in a claimer 51 days ago; down in distance.

He's Fully Loaded

Jockey: Alexis Sanchez Trainer: Steven Cathcart Age/Wt: 6/8-10 F: 70-174

Red Maple

Jockey: Kirk Johnson Trainer: Roy Agostino Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 48-865

Comment: Beaten 9l in fifth last month (Ajax Downs) in an allowance race (quarter horse); has an excellent record over course and distance (three wins from 14 runs); likely to be involved if replicating best previous efforts.

Exceed

Jockey: Matthew Dennis Trainer: Kristina Roberts Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 30-233
