I Hope Its Chloe has the best form but she is exposed and lags behind in an event that may be slowly run. It looks like HARLAN'S GIRL or Thats Awe Mine will make the lead here. If one takes back, the other is going to be at a big tactical advantage. The former gets the vote running in blinkers first time.

J R THUNDER was a very good third in a maiden special weight on his return. He looks a big player now back in a maiden claimer and in a career low spot. Three Golden Rules has the form to contend but has made a career so far in near-misses. The lightly-raced French Minded, along with debutants Corredors Edge and Fudgenapplebutter, have upside.

FORT LEWIS RIVERS was outfinished by Buddons in October but managed to hold on a month later with an improved effort. He draws well and looks to be the dominant speed of this event. Edging ran big on the turf last time. He's not as good on dirt but it's still high enough to make him a live danger.

DRINKINATTHEBAR has been runner-up in his last three starts. He'll be a short price considering his near-misses but it's hard to make a strong case for the rest. Sassy Man finished over two lengths behind the selection last time. Tyoga Six has had plenty of chances to win again. Ohio invader Giant Got The Cat has a squeak.

MI ERMANA TINA ran poorly in her last start at Indiana in October. She now runs for a far more successful trainer. He's found a pretty weak race for her if she runs to her best. Jaco Ia hasn't raced since a tame effort in August. She did run a fine second when similarly fresh after her last layoff.

The winning run of MAFIA MUSCLE MAN continued last month despite moving to a lesser trainer. He could be on an easy lead here and be very tough to run down. The Sligo Poet went close in better company over an extended mile last time. He did win his last race sprinting. Stealin' Summer will try to run these down from far back.

A trio of these filled the minor places at this allowance level last time but over six and a half furlongs. Charming Deputy did best and ran his best race for a long time. TWO GUN JAK seems the most likely to be suited by the cut back in distance, though. Favourite Uno Mas Modelo ran below his form of a month earlier.

APPLIQUE is one of a few in here that have better form on turf. In her favour is she is likely to be an improved filly and not just the surface switch. Majestic Megan beat claimers narrowly in October but looked like she had plenty in hand. Another last-time claim, Tatum's Gold has fine back form.

Muncher has the best form but it's not a guarantee he runs to the same level after being claimed by a winless trainer in 2016. HANDSOME SEAN has faded in two starts since returning. He may be on or near soft fractions today. Outlawjoe was entitled to need his comeback recently after a five-month absence.
