Cee Drew

Age/Wt: 2/8-10

1/1

Comment: Sibling of Goatski (1m winner); yard has had a newcomer go in recently; has had some encouraging workouts and must enter calculations.

Lady K Westfall

Age/Wt: 2/8-10 F: 53

3/1

Comment: Quick away to lead from a wide draw in a maiden special weight in front of Danzing Daisy when 7l third at Del Mar five weeks ago; definite chance with that experience under her belt.

Comment: Finished behind Lady K Westfall five weeks ago when beaten 13l at Del Mar in a maiden special weight; likely to be a threat as entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and she has shown bits and pieces of promise.

Comment: This now his fourth attempt to get off the mark; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Del Mar (beaten 3½l) upped to this trip 37 days ago in a maiden special weight; jockey booking is a positive; makes limited appeal despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Comment: Last of six over 4½f at Los Alamitos (claimer (mixed)) in July; has struggled to factor since winning a maiden claimer at Pleasanton last November and could be at the extent of his ability; claiming value now rises to $10k; facing a testing assignment and hard to fancy.
