4/7

Comment: Came up short at Del Mar when eighth of nine in August in a maiden claimer; four-race maiden but has managed to finish third; has had some time off; claiming value now drops from $40k; has strong claims as jockey does well from inner gates here and she has shown signs of promise in the past.

Arya's Ride

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: George Papaprodromou Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 6

11/4

Comment: Held on her debut (at Santa Anita over 6f) with blinkers applied at 10-1 last month; should give it a bold bid as shown signs of ability in her exercise and she could step up.

Forest Dazzle

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Brendan Galvin Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 4-06

20/1

Comment: Yet to get off the mark in three attempts (fourth her best finish); beaten 17l (sixth) 41 days ago in a maiden special weight; first-time blinkers; running on dirt for the first time; in with a shout based on the pick of her form and she is dropping into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Lady Dosia

Jockey: Eduard Fernandez Rojas Trainer: Sergio Morfin Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 4

25/1

Comment: Never posed a significant threat on her debut here with blinkers applied when ahead of a couple of these at 40-1 four weeks ago; could improve but still hard to see her winning here.

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 17l, here over 6f (maiden claimer) last month; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Waiting For My Cue

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Blaine Wright Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 5

Comment: Came home fifth over this trip on her debut at 5-1 two weeks ago; likely to be a threat now making a first appearance in a maiden claimer and she could step up.
