Verdict: AVANA looks set for a big run. She was disappointing last time although that may have been only a blip and has been a winner over this C&D.

Viva La Diva

Jockey: Kerron Khelawan Trainer: Barbara Heads Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 23224-

Comment: Finished last of four over 1m1f here (stakes) in October; almost victorious in a stakes in September; recent form has a decent look to it; may have to settle for supporting role.

Bunny

Jockey: Kimal Santo Trainer: Dino Condilenios Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 11212-

Comment: A stakes winner in September at this track; ahead of Air Force and Viva la Diva when runner-up (beaten a short head) in October in a stakes; definite chance; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break.

Air Force

Jockey: Antonio Reyes Trainer: Keith Pedersen Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 34123-

Comment: Among the places in a stakes in September and generally consistent; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 8l) in a stakes in October; hard enough to fancy.

Avana

Jockey: Amadeo Perez Trainer: Barbara Heads Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 11115-

Comment: Fifth beaten 16l (Zia Park) six months ago in a stakes; yet to taste defeat at this track, winning on all five visits; won a stakes in September here; big run on the cards.

Verdict: CHABI rates a strong recommendation. She can bounce back from a below-par effort latest, while Nu Blend is another to consider.

Brodys Souvenir

Jockey: Richard Balgobin Trainer: Frank Barroby Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 64-

Comment: This just her third race; unable to land a blow in fourth here over 6½f (maiden claimer, not far behind Miss Larue) in October; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Chabi

Jockey: Kimal Santo Trainer: Peter Gregory Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 52734-

Comment: This is her grade and best form so far in last two starts; not disgraced in fourth in October in a claimer; every chance.

Nozomi

Jockey: Ridge Balgobin Trainer: Frank Barroby Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 8454-4

Comment: Not beaten too far when fourth here in a maiden claimer last Saturday; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Comment: Finished third, beaten 10l, over 6½f here (maiden claimer) in October; best form so far in last two starts; she can make a bold bid.

Nu Blend

Jockey: Amadeo Perez Trainer: Mark Cloutier Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 34-4

Comment: Last of four 15 days ago in a maiden optional claimer; some promise; closest she has come to winning after five starts was a third and has not had much racing; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and needs to be respected.

Floyd

Jockey: Amadeo Perez Trainer: Mark Cloutier Age/Wt: 3/8-5

Comment: Shares a dam with Our Bloke, a 6f winner; first public outing; is of interest.

Exit Tunnel

Jockey: Antonio Reyes Trainer: Craig MacPherson Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 5-

Comment: Comfortably beaten into last on his debut over C&D at 4-1 in August; first run in a claimer; should go well as shown signs of ability in his exercise and the penny could well drop today.

Andaleigh

Jockey: Richard Balgobin Trainer: Tammy Snow Age/Wt: 5/8-1 F: 3343-

Comment: Normally pretty consistent but yet to open his account after nine starts; third here but only beaten a short head in October in a maiden claimer; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.
