Spotlight: Has chalked up two wins from his last three; shown all winning form at Canterbury Park (two successes); bumped at the start over 7f at Canterbury Park (claimer) when beaten 17l three months ago; claiming tag now upped from $7.5k; this looks a decent race so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Spotlight: Has winning form at this track; performed below market expectations when sixth over 1m½f here (claimer) in January; layoff to overcome; now down in class (in for $10k from $35k); entitled to respect as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Spotlight: Successful seven times from 5f to 1m½f; a previous winner here; comfortably beaten into fifth in October at Arapahoe Park in an allowance race; this is a step down in class but others more likely.

Spotlight: Fell when favourite at Hawthorne 50 days ago (stumbled at the start) in a claimer; remains far from exposed; claiming tag drops to $10k (from $12.5k).

Spotlight: A previous winner here; ran well to finish second (beaten just over 2l) in a claimer at Zia Park five weeks ago; notable rider booked; can be in the mix if backing up last run.

Spotlight: Can be a player at this level; has winning C&D form to his name; finished last of five in an allowance optional claimer (broke in air at the start, Canterbury Park) in June; returns from a layoff.

Spotlight: Could not manage better than seventh (Hawthorne) 43 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; useful in this grade; class dropper as runs for a $10k tag here; his best form stacks up so could have a say.

Spotlight: Unable to land a blow when seventh of ten (Remington Park) last month in a claimer; quality operator at his peak and has an impressive record over course and distance (eight wins from 20 runs); now a lower claiming tag ($10k from $20k) so down in class; likely to be in contention.

Spotlight: Finished towards the rear of 13 (Remington Park) in October in a claimer; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win two years ago) and generally been out of sorts of late; claiming tag now upped to $10k; others more likely with several rivals in good nick.

Spotlight: Has won at this track; may have reached limits of his ability; finished ninth of 12 five weeks ago (Horseshoe Indianapolis) in an optional claimer; claiming value rises from $8k last time; a lot on his plate here and one to tread carefully with.

Spotlight: Comfortably beaten finishing eighth at Churchill Downs two weeks ago in a claimer; operating at a lower level than at his peak and has won 13 races (6f-1m1f); eased in class with tag standing at $10k here; likely player granted a bit more luck as didn't get the rub of the green last time and has proved he knows how to win.

Spotlight: Gave it a good shot when a close runner-up over 5½f at Hawthorne (claimer) 50 days ago; has been in the winners' enclosure twice in his career; claiming tag drops from $15k.

Spotlight: Gave good account to finish third in a claimer at Churchill Downs two weeks ago; consistent lately; tag has been dropped to $10k.

Spotlight: Better than this level in his prime but not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Prairie Meadows in May; finished last of seven at Prairie Meadows three months ago in a claimer; in for a $10k tag here, up from $5k last time.
