Verdict: STORMY OCEAN is the recommendation. She was behind Six For A Nine last time but can now reverse placings.

Stormy Ocean

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Danny Yu Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4927-

Comment: Finished behind Six For A Nine here over 1m½f (maiden claimer) when tailed off in September; previous run was disappointing, but finished second two starts back; big run on the cards.

Scary Boo

Jockey: Fraser Aebly Trainer: John Mattine Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 5552-4

Comment: Out of the frame when fourth at the weekend in a maiden claimer; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; shown she can be competitive fairly recently and should be thereabouts.

Ecliptical Ladybug

Jockey: Eswan Flores Trainer: Abraham Katryan Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6-

Comment: Well beaten behind the fourth, No Visor, (over 1m½f here, wearing blinkers) when beaten a fair way on first start at 25-1 five months ago; hard to see her getting off the mark second time up.

Houlihan

Comment: Was fourth of seven, beaten 9l, in a maiden claimer dropped back in distance last week; shown recent signs of improvement; shown she can be competitive fairly recently and one to watch out for.

Verdict: It is hard to get away from LINDA'S OPAL. She was behind Scat Humor latest but can now overturn placings and could benefit if the front runners set off too quick.

Linda's Opal

Jockey: Jeffrey Alderson Trainer: Angus Buntain Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 62546-

Comment: Held when sixth beaten 5l here over 6½f (maiden optional claimer, not far behind Scat Humor) in November; not yet off the mark in seven attempts although has finished second; warrants plenty of respect as this doesn't look the strongest of heats and she has shown signs of promise in the past.

Tentomidnight

Jockey: Sofia Vives Trainer: Robert Tiller Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 53538-

Comment: Long-term maiden (0-9) but stepped up on her last two starts; last of eight in December in a maiden special weight; should not be far away as plenty to like about workout last Friday and this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer.

Verdict: MIZZEN ASH is a strong pick. She is a one-time winner at this track and has a good record of rewarding her backers. Ashcar Nellie is another for the shortlist.

Ashcar Nellie

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Patrick Dixon Age/Wt: 4/8-4 F: 6511-

Comment: Winner of three of her six runs to date and aiming to complete a hat-trick; narrow winner of a claimer (Fort Erie) in October; back from an absence here; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so definite chance.

Gizmo's B F F

Jockey: Sofia Vives Trainer: Debra Rombis Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 6935-1

Comment: Too good for Pluie d'Avril and Gabby Squared when landing an optional claimer over 6f by just under 3l 12 days ago; better than this level in her prime; is a player; may be sharper for the run last time.

Mizzen Ash

Comment: Has a good record at this venue, including three course-and-distance wins; creditable effort to finish second over 5f here (claimer) last month; her best looks to be behind her and not one to rely on.

Hot Omelet

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Warren Leblanc Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 1178-4

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-24); finished behind Cefalo when beaten just under 5l in fourth last month on debut for this handler in a claimer; others more persuasive as this could be a hot race.

Gabby Squared

Jockey: Daisuke Fukumoto Trainer: Michael Wright Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 658-54

Comment: Just under 3l fourth to the reopposing Gizmo's B F F here over 6f (optional claimer) two weeks ago when not beaten too far on debut for this trainer; perhaps looks to have to reached her ceiling and hasn't won for a while; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and has questions to answer.

Pluie D'Avril

Jockey: Jeffrey Alderson Trainer: Julie Belhumeur Age/Wt: 9/8-9 F: 6951-3

Comment: Fair effort when just under 3l third to Gizmo's B F F 12 days ago in an optional claimer; loves this venue (six wins from 38 course runs); a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Foolish Games

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Michelle Love Age/Wt: 5/8-4 F: 64885-

Comment: Last of five in December dropped back in distance in a claimer; three wins from 12 here; layoff to overcome; has been on the scene in the recent past and must be considered.

Verdict: SPECIAL SESSION has to be the first name on the shortlist. He should be forgiven a modest latest run. Trip Aces and Rideau Hall should also be in the hunt.

Trip Aces

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6354

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth of five in a maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park last month; blinkers fitted for the first time; shown he can be competitive fairly recently and has to be taken seriously.

Jockey: Rafael Hernandez Trainer: Kevin Attard Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 9-

Comment: Beaten 10l when last on his debut in blinkers (at Woodbine over this distance) at 3-1 in December; nicely bred (by Gun Runner); the yard is going well; returns from an absence here; must make above-average progress to figure.

Comment: Beaten 12l on his debut over 1m in blinkers at Turfway Park at 18-1 three months ago; related to Stakes winner Inudation; facing a tougher assignment than last time, will need to step up from his racecourse introduction.

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Debra Rombis Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 73726-

Comment: Only once has she got into the winners' enclosure but this is her grade; not far behind Beaumont Drive when sixth five months ago in a claimer; need to draw a line through her last run, but was second two starts back; ought to be competitive.

Comment: Fifth beaten 10l in a claimer at Turfway Park two months ago; warrants respect despite defeat last time as was second two runs back.
