Spotlight: Fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing seventh of nine at Gulfstream Park five weeks ago in a Grade 2; excellent winning ratio overseas - on target once in two runs; warrants respect as jockey does well from inside draws here and dropping in class.

Spotlight: He meets the required standard ability wise; was fourth of 12, beaten 6l, in November at Churchill Downs in an allowance optional claimer; returns from a layoff.

Spotlight: Out of the frame when tenth dropped back in distance 36 days ago (Turfway Park) in an allowance optional claimer; others more persuasive given this looks a decent race.

Spotlight: Respectable effort finishing fifth (beaten 3l) at Gulfstream Park five weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer.

Spotlight: Came out on top by 2½l in a starter allowance (Aqueduct) last month; in the mix.

Spotlight: Split a number of these rivals in an allowance race beaten just over 3l at Churchill Downs in November; useful in this grade; has struck up a good partnership with this rider, who is back on board; returns from a layoff.

Spotlight: Seems to be improving based on last two runs; snapped losing run in November when winning with a bit to spare at Aqueduct in a maiden special weight; returns from an absence here; easy to see him making an impression.

Spotlight: Was eighth of 11, beaten 8l, over 1m2f at Turfway Park (allowance optional claimer) in January; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; dropped in distance here.

Spotlight: Has kicked on in his last couple of races; off the mark at the fifth time of asking over 1m at Turfway Park (maiden special weight) when a 1½l winner 44 days ago; strong claims.

Spotlight: Not beaten that far in sixth (just over 3l) over 1m at Tampa Bay Downs (allowance race) two months ago; improved form the last twice; facing a testing assignment and not hard to turn elsewhere.

Spotlight: Generally modest form since maiden special weight success at Churchill Downs last June; missed the frame (beaten 6l into fifth) 33 days ago at Sam Houston in an allowance race; makes limited appeal as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Spotlight: Has hit the frame in several recent runs; was on the premises (finished runner-up of ten) in an allowance optional claimer at Turfway Park on debut for new trainer two weeks ago; must go on the shortlist.

Spotlight: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; went down by half a length in an allowance optional claimer when back to 1m½f on his first start for this trainer (Woodbine) last June; returns from an absence here.

Spotlight: Has won at this track; not disgraced when seventh of 11 six months ago behind Rocky Joy, in an allowance race; layoff to overcome.

Spotlight: Close up behind Bite And Strike when eighth in an allowance optional claimer at Gulfstream Park five weeks ago.

Spotlight: Useful in this grade; finished 11th of 12 New Year's Eve (Turfway Park) in an allowance optional claimer; covers an extra 1f here.
