Verdict: BOBWHITE BOBBY has to be the first name on the shortlist. He could cash in if the leaders go too fast and is bidding for his second course success. Vienna Prize and He's All Ears also have claims.

Vienna Prize

Jockey: Isaiah Wiseman Trainer: J Williams Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 21-45

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten 12l, last month in an allowance race; has winning track form; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; competitive shout.

Bobwhite Bobby

Jockey: Alfredo Jr Triana Trainer: Scott Young Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 824314

Comment: Possesses winning form at this track; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; solid run when fourth over 5½f here (claimer, muddy track) last month; moves down to an easier grade (in for $7.5k); much respected if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

He's A Rock

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Jesse Oberlander Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 8161-2

Comment: Finished ahead of two of these rivals last month when a close second in a claimer; has chalked up two wins from his last four; poor record second up off a break so others appeal more.

He's All Ears

Jockey: Elvin Gonzalez Trainer: Eusebio Rufino Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 621-53

Comment: Split He's A Rock (second) and Mega Shack (fourth) here over 5½f (claimer) last month; enters calculations as shown he can get his head in front and peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Dancing Devil

Jockey: Lindsey Hebert Trainer: James Hale Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 58-462

Comment: Went close at 18-1 in an allowance race (muddy track) last month; winning form over C&D; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and passed over.

Mega Shack

Jockey: Roman Cruz Trainer: Jody Pruitt Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 57-484

Comment: All wins over this distance but struggled a bit since winning a claimer at Remington Park in October; beaten just under 5l just behind He's A Rock and He's All Ears in runner-up and third last month in a claimer; probably unlikely to trouble the principals given the strong opposition here.

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; 18-1 winner by just under 4l, breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking a week ago in a maiden claimer; despite that Will Rogers Downs success, others make more appeal.

Grandsonsam

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Joe Offolter Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 24-252

Comment: Not far behind Gospel Treasure when third in a maiden special weight (muddy track) last month; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs but yet to win after 12 starts; not an obvious one.

Comment: Signs of improvement on last two runs but without a win after nine attempts; beaten 22l (behind Joyful Image) upped to this trip 48 days ago in a maiden special weight; workout history raises concerns this race may be needed so there are better alternatives here.

Gospel Treasure

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Steve Williams Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 54-342

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and normally pretty consistent; ran well to finish runner-up (beaten just over 3l, muddy track) just ahead of Holy Ama last month in a maiden special weight; should not be far away if building on promise shown last time.

Verdict: IN THE ARCH is strongly fancied to prevail. He boasts a good career strike-rate and can turn around placings with Whip from last time they met.

In The Arch

Jockey: Travis Cunningham Trainer: Joe Roberts Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 243364

Comment: One-time useful performer and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a 11th career win); split Whip (third) and Colt Fiction (sixth) on first outing for new trainer last month when fourth of seven in a claimer; major player as shown some signs of promise.

Kick It Again Bob

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: M Davidson Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 8-72256

Comment: Not beaten that far in sixth (8l) when separating a number of reopposing rivals two weeks ago in a claimer; a winner over C&D; needs to be respected as shown some signs of promise and the longer distance is likely to help.

Colt Fiction

Jockey: Alberto Pusac Trainer: Michael Hewitt Age/Wt: 10/8-13 F: 122-16

Comment: Behind two of these three weeks ago when sixth here in a claimer; cut above this level at his peak and admirable career strike-rate (11 from 36 to date); very possible he will be sharper for most recent start so deserves respect.

Comment: Finished behind three of these rivals last month when beaten 13l (seventh of nine) in a claimer; a winner over C&D; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as now looks to be past his prime.

Starburst

Jockey: Curtis Kimes Trainer: Tim Dixon Age/Wt: 7/8-13 F: 7-54955

Comment: A course winner; not really built on success in a claimer in September at Remington Park; finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (8l) two weeks ago when separating a number of reopposing rivals in a claimer; now looks to be past his prime and makes little appeal.

Warhammer

Jockey: Elvin Gonzalez Trainer: H Ashford Jr Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 24-972

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; finished second when evens in a maiden claimer a week ago upped to this distance; a leading player as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and his recent effort was encouraging.

Double R Cat

Jockey: Richard Eramia Trainer: Joe Offolter Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9-5333

Comment: Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; finished just behind Top Of The World when third last month upped to this trip in a maiden claimer; can give it a good shot if building on most recent effort and the flying form of the stable is an obvious plus.

Comment: Has kicked on in her last couple of races; came out on top by 3½l, breaking her duck at the sixth time of asking in a maiden claimer ten days ago; in the mix.

Taka

Goddess Of War

Jockey: Travis Cunningham Trainer: Lyle Johnston Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 0-62962

Comment: Form has been a mixed bag of late; went close when runner-up in a claimer; closely matched with Lemon Marmalade on that running (muddy track) 14 days ago; could be in the mix as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months and her latest run was promising.

Jockey: Santos Rivera Trainer: M Davidson Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 969286
