Nicole's Song

Jockey: O Moreno Trainer: Joseph Humber Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 2-5634

Comment: Possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability; finished fourth, beaten 9l, over 6f here (claimer) behind two of these two weeks ago; a lot on her plate here and not hard to turn elsewhere.

Comment: Last of six over 5f here (claimer) 22 days ago on debut for this trainer; hasn't won for a while and possible she has reached the ceiling of her ability; latest efforts leave a lot to be desired so is up against it.

Comment: Consistent lately and season-ticket holder here with three wins; third here but only beaten just over 1l three weeks ago in an optional claimer; booking of Christopher Husbands takes the eye; makes limited appeal as no longer in his pomp.

Strong Ending

Jockey: Christopher Husbands Trainer: Richard Davis Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 23-334

Comment: Could be at the extent of his ability and hasn't won for a while; out of the frame (beaten 6l in fourth) last month when not far behind two of his rivals upped to this distance in a claimer; now looks to be past his prime and others have more pressing claims.

Verdict: TAMANA has an encouraging career strike-rate and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick. Classy Image and Ashcar Nellie also warrant respect.

Addi Bug

Jockey: Pierre Mailhot Trainer: Steven Cathcart Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 164521

Comment: Narrow success in a claimer (dropped back to this distance, Legacy Downs) in May; on target twice in her last six outings; despite that Legacy Downs success, may be vulnerable.

Tamana

Jockey: Kirk Johnson Trainer: Julie Mathes Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 46-421

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 5-23; won a claimer by 3½l last month; a big player as her jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D.

Classy Image

Jockey: Ismael Mosqueira Trainer: Mark Fournier Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4124-8

Comment: Last of eight in a stakes 51 days ago on debut for this trainer; useful in this grade; could be in the mix as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and shown she can get her head in front.

Comment: Finished last of five over 6f here (claimer) last month; winner of three starts (range of trips from 5f to 7f); a few rivals look in good form so has questions to answer.

Ashcar Nellie

Jockey: Christopher Husbands Trainer: Kevin Buttigieg Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1-8321

Comment: Has chalked up three wins from her last six; brings winning C&D form to the table; got the job done by 4l here over 6f (claimer) last month on debut for this trainer; peak figure in the past year is the best in the field so likely to be involved.
