Verdict: ETHAN'S GIRL can take advantage of the likely hectic pace up front and is going for her second course success. Shesayshello is also respected.

Grazed N' Confused

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Frank Lucarelli Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 5-7382

Comment: Only once has she got into the winners' enclosure; produced a good effort to finish second last month (had Shadowed Thoughts (third) and Caly Bali (fifth) behind) in a claimer; competitive shout as latest run was an encouraging one.

Ethan's Girl

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Scott Tubbs Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: -66224

Comment: Didn't quite live up to market expectations at 9-10 when fourth in a claimer (bumped at the start) last month on debut for this trainer; useful in this grade; a leading contender as jockey does well from inside draws here.

Comment: Finished last of six over 5½f here (claimer, bumped at the start) last month; class riser as runs for a $4k tag here; this is competitive and easy to oppose.

Shady Harbor

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Howard Gibson Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: -166

Comment: Beaten 9l into sixth last Thursday in a claimer; just her fourth outing so still early days; related to Stakes winner Hit The Beach; claiming value now drops from $8k; hard to dismiss if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back.

Shesayshello

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Tena Birdwell Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 2653

Comment: Not disgraced when third upped to 1m last month in a claimer; been a while since she managed only win; deserves respect as lower claiming tag suggests she may have less on her plate here.

Caly Bali

Jockey: Adrian Castellanos Trainer: Jose Puentes Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 7-225

Comment: Not far behind Grazed n' Confused, the runner-up, and Shadowed Thoughts, the third, in a claimer when beaten 6l in fifth last month; has not been firing consistently; facing a testing assignment and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Comment: Beaten 20l when sixth of seven last month (behind Cross The Causeway) in a claimer; is a multiple winner this year; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $8k); easy to oppose.

Crown Magic

Jockey: David Haldar Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 131683

Comment: Is a two-time winner this year and proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fifth win); finished third last month albeit only beaten 2½l, finished ahead of Club Mesquite in a claimer; hard to dismiss as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag.

Club Mesquite

Jockey: Silvio Amador Trainer: Candice Cryderman Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 382153

Comment: Gave it a good shot when a close third last month in a claimer; has won previously at this course; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others make more appeal.

Enos Slaughter

Jockey: Francisco Monroy Trainer: Marcelino Trujillo Age/Wt: 8/8-10 F: 3-7437

Comment: Failed to land a blow when seventh of eight last month in a starter allowance; winner of six starts (range of trips from 5½f to 1m½f) and despite a poor last run, he had been running well previously; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others more appealing.

Cross The Causeway

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Charles Essex Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 6153

Comment: Has won here previously; producing consistent form; finished third two weeks ago albeit only beaten 4l with Shaun's Jazz just behind in a claimer; could be involved as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Rich Gold

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Jaymie Cruz Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 58423

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 7-33; finished just behind Smiling Goodbye when third in a starter allowance last month on debut for this trainer; should be thereabouts.

Quality Cat

Jockey: Adrian Castellanos Trainer: Howard Gibson Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 4645

Comment: Beaten 11l in fifth in an optional claimer (Santa Anita) last month upped to 1m; this looks a fair heat so others have more pressing claims.

I'm Noble

Jockey: Francisco Duran Trainer: Joe Toye Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 752132

Comment: Ran well when beaten three-quarters of a length over 1m here (claimer) last month; has won at this track; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so has to be taken seriously.

Emerald Downs

02:27

Runners: 9 Distance: 0m 6f 110y

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: FAST CHAZ likes to stalk the early speed and is going for his second course success. Gypsy Gun, Precedent Luke and Pistol Power can't be ruled out either.

Its Five Somewhere

Jockey: Frank Alvarado Trainer: Billy Christian Age/Wt: 9/8-13 F: 673445

Comment: Close up behind Gypsy Gun when fifth here over 6f (claimer) two weeks ago; successful seven times from 100 career outings (5½f-1m) but may not have any more improvement left; easy enough to swerve as not in the habit of winning recently.

Gypsy Gun

Jockey: Adrian Castellanos Trainer: Jorge Rosales Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 6-7374

Comment: Close-up fourth of nine (favourite) in a claimer last month; some claims as recent display was promising.

Fast Chaz

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Justin Evans Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 81791

Comment: Successful three times in his last six starts; from a powerful stable; narrow scorer in a claimer upped to 1m 16 days ago; calmer waters here (in for $2.5k, $5k tag last time); has to be considered.

No D'oro

Jockey: Akatsuki Tomita Trainer: Tena Birdwell Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 27669

Comment: Has managed three wins from 13 career runs but generally modest form since claimer success at Pleasanton in December; last of nine 16 days ago in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $2.5k; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Nation Of Faith

Jockey: Kiaman McGregor Trainer: Alexis Martinez Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 4-4605

Comment: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten 3½l) when back to 6f last month in a claimer; can boast winning form over this C&D; largely disappointing since successful in a claimer at Emerald Downs in September; claiming tag drops to $2.5k (from $8k).

Rimrock Lake

Jockey: Chel C Bailey Trainer: Jose Navarro Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 4-4549

Anna's Iron Man

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Michael Morris Age/Wt: 6/8-13 F: 2-624

Comment: Held when fourth beaten 9l in a claimer last month upped to 1m; has won over C&D; useful in this grade; moves down to an easier grade (in for $2.5k); can be in the thick of things as shown he can win fairly recently - return to this trip is a plus too.

Precedent Luke

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Serjio Garcia Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 5-30121

Comment: Admirable career strike-rate (three from 13 to date); scored by a slim margin in a claimer on his debut for this trainer last week; he should go close as lower claiming tag worth taking at face value.

Pistol Power

Jockey: Juan Gutierrez Trainer: Rigoberto Velasquez Age/Wt: 11/8-13 F: 2/7-3

Comment: Season-ticket holder here with 11 wins and smart performer at one stage; split a number of these rivals in a claimer when third beaten 2l four weeks ago; warrants consideration.
