Spotlight: Brings winning C&D form to the table; has been fairly consistent this year; favourite and just came up short in an allowance optional claimer at Hawthorne in front of Hard To Fathom three weeks ago; tag drops from $75k to $50k here.

Spotlight: Not disgraced in third in an allowance race (Evangeline Downs) in August; producing consistent form; this C&D holds no fears; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Spotlight: On target twice in his last six outings; behind Oscar Season over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (allowance optional claimer) when last of nine 36 days ago; meeting some horses in good form and easy to oppose.

Spotlight: Narrow success in an optional claimer (Belmont At The Big A) in September; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-10; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; is respected given he has won after a layoff previously.

Spotlight: On target twice in his last three outings; from a top trainer; missed out by three-quarters of a length at Churchill Downs two months ago in an allowance race; first run in claiming company; clear chance.

Spotlight: Not many miles on the clock; not disgraced in sixth in an allowance optional claimer at Keeneland last month; should be thereabouts as is no stranger to the winners' enclosure.

Spotlight: This is his grade; fair effort when beaten just under 3l last month at Horseshoe Indianapolis in an allowance optional claimer; capable if in the mood so should not be far away.

Spotlight: Was thereabouts (third of ten, 33-1) in an allowance race when leading early from a wide draw at Keeneland upped to this trip last month; proved competitive when hitting the board in a stakes in August; encouraging jockey booking; impressed on most recent trackwork and can't be ruled out.

Spotlight: Finished last of six in an allowance optional claimer (Churchill Downs) when back to this trip five months ago; has won three races (5½f-1m½f) and can be a player at this level; now eased in the grades (in for $50k); has had some time off; shown he can win fairly recently and should give it a bold bid.

Spotlight: Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a seventh career win); found life tough when 7l back in sixth behind Another Mystery, three weeks ago at Hawthorne in an allowance optional claimer; hard to fancy as now looks to be past his prime.

Spotlight: Got across to lead from a wide draw in an allowance race when tailed off last month (Keeneland) upped to 1m4f; this line-up contains some strong opposition so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Spotlight: Finished behind Sabi at Evangeline Downs over 1m (allowance optional claimer) when beaten 8l (seventh of nine) in August; has scored over C&D; meeting some horses in good form and has some questions to answer.

Spotlight: Gained a just over 2l success over 1m at Delta Downs (allowance race) 34 days ago on debut for this trainer; bids to pull off a hat-trick; winning form over C&D; jockey booking heightens interest.
