Spotlight: Finished last of nine in a starter allowance upped to 1m½f (Oaklawn Park) in December; useful in this grade and performed at a higher level than this in his peak; returns from a layoff; ought to be competitive.

Spotlight: He can be competitive at this level and has been fairly consistent this year; far from disgraced (beaten 2½l) when close behind Double Neat two weeks ago in a starter allowance; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then in the mix.

Spotlight: Finished last of five at Thistledown last month (sloppy track) in an allowance race; he's an attractive contender if finding his best form and was a winner two starts ago.

Spotlight: Last of nine in an allowance optional claimer at Horseshoe Indianapolis (dropped to this distance) last month; possesses winning form at this track; recent form is unremarkable; facing a testing assignment and not one to rely on.

Spotlight: Beaten 8l when sixth of 11 in an allowance optional claimer dropped down to this trip two weeks ago; has chalked up two wins from his last five; first-time blinkers now tried; claiming value now drops to $50k; must go on the shortlist.

Spotlight: Last of six last month at Horseshoe Indianapolis in an allowance optional claimer; this looks a decent race so others make more appeal.

Spotlight: Not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden claimer at Churchill Downs in November; finished last of eight (muddy track) 12 days ago in a claimer; claiming tag rises from $40k last time; facing a testing assignment and he can be taken on.

Spotlight: Won in good style in an allowance race at Belterra Park (dropped back to this distance, sloppy track) two weeks ago; managed two wins in his last six outings; despite that Belterra Park success, others make more appeal.

Spotlight: Landed a narrow success in an allowance race (muddy track) on his first start for this trainer (Horseshoe Indianapolis) dropped down to 1m½f five weeks ago; despite that Horseshoe Indianapolis success, may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Spotlight: Good third at 40-1 where just ahead of Curlin's Gesture 13 days ago in a starter allowance; been struggling to get his head in front recently so not one to rely on.

Spotlight: Good effort when 4l second in a claimer three weeks ago; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); class riser as runs for a $50k tag here.

Spotlight: Beaten 8l in eighth last month dropped down to 5½f in an allowance race; this is his level; first attempt at a claimer; every chance if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Spotlight: Has chalked up two wins from his last four; creditable effort in third (beaten just over 1l) in a claimer 11 days ago; in for the same tag ($50k).

Spotlight: Out of the frame (beaten 4l in sixth) 24 days ago in an allowance race; successful in two of his 12 career starts.
