Verdict: NAVAL HOSPITAL looks set for a big run. She could be sweetened up by first-time blinkers and the abundance of pace up front enhances her claims.

American Kestrel

Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 5-9353

7/4

Comment: Still searching for her first win after nine attempts but has shown some recent improvement; minor honours when 6-4 in a claiming maiden four weeks ago; closely matched with Hope She Fires on that running on debut for this trainer; the trainer is going well; can be on the premises if backing up last run.

Suzies Pride

Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 32-4

9/2

Comment: First-time blinkers had no impact over 1m here (maiden claimer) when beaten 14l (fourth of seven) last week; without a win in three attempts although has finished second; calmer waters here (in for $16k, $50k tag last time); has to be respected.

5/1

Comment: Only finished fourth of ten despite odds of 2-1 in a maiden claimer when not far behind Orquidea Real (second) and Galene (third) last month; stepped up on her last two starts; first-time blinkers fitted; warrants plenty of respect as pick of form offers some encouragement.

Comment: Produced a string of consistent efforts and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; was on the premises (second, beaten just over 2l) in January (Gulfstream Park) in a maiden claimer; returns from a layoff; has possibilities as lower claiming tag should make this easier and her latest run was promising.

Comment: This son of Maximus Mischief looks the part on breeding; sire does get winners on the turf; must be checked in the market coming from these quarters; can be in the thick of things as some good aspects to his profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Cowboy Roy

Comment: Trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; related to 6f winner Whatchasaid; could be interesting with signs of encouragement in profile - form of his stable is an obvious plus.

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish second here over 1m1f (maiden claimer) last month; shown recent signs of improvement but still winless and defeats stacking up (15 on the bounce); Joseph Trejos a noteworthy booking; higher claiming tag here so up in class; looks more likely to place than win so makes little appeal.
