Verdict: SHUFFLE is the recommendation. He can rebound from a below-par latest run and the likely strong pace up front is a plus, while Magical Surprise is also respected.

Comment: Finished last of six last July in an allowance race; this is his level; has had some time off; warrants consideration as finished second last June.

Comment: Useful at this level; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (6l) last Thursday in an allowance race; respected as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and has proved he knows how to win.

Comment: Beaten 15l in sixth here over 6½f (allowance race) last July; grade looks suitable; first run in a claimer; returning from a layoff here; shown he can win fairly recently and capable of going well.

Comment: Held in sixth (dropped to 6½f) last month (muddy track) when separating a number of reopposing rivals in a claimer; slumped a bit since winning a claimer at Delta Downs in November and perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling; others are preferred with a few rivals in good form.

Comment: A while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2020) and possible that there's no more in the locker; held when fifth beaten 16l last month splitting Yangarra, Two Tons Of Fun and Dublshotofcourage (muddy track) in a claimer; little chance as best days now look to behind him.

Comment: Beaten just over 4l 12 days ago when sent off 22-1 (just behind No Love For Juba) in an allowance optional claimer; claiming value now drops to $15k; should give it a bold bid as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Comment: Wins-runs record of 6-21 and has maintained his consistent level of form; not beaten too far (just under 3l, sloppy track) at Delaware Park last month in a claimer; up in class but should not be ruled out.

Comment: Split a number of these rivals last month when running with credit in finishing fourth in an allowance race; successful twice in his last three starts; probably unlikely to trouble the principals in what appears to be a competitive contest.
