Verdict: JUNGLE PEACE is a C&D winner and given her current winning run, she has every chance of going in again. Amorita and Cloe must be on the shortlist.

Cloe

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: J D Angelo Age/Wt: 3/8-12 F: -161

Comment: Won by just under 2l when dropped to 5f at Gulfstream Park last month on first run for this trainer in a stakes; has won two of her three career runs; has to be considered despite this step up in class.

Jungle Peace

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 63-11

Comment: Landed a narrow success in an allowance optional claimer last month; failed to win in Ireland; has to be feared despite moving up in class.

Schilflied

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: P Gallagher Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 2-3421

Comment: Claimed a second C&D win 21 days ago when successful by half a length; can give it a good shot as jockey does well from inside draws here and she can take this step up in class in her stride.

Velocity

Jockey: Ricardo Gonzalez Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 51

Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Nyquist); scored narrowly in a maiden special weight when getting off the mark at the second time of asking 29 days ago; makes limited appeal given likely tougher test.

Polythene Pam

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Librado Barocio Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 1-763

Comment: Not disgraced when third of six in a stakes at Turf Paradise last month; facing a tougher assignment than last time, others have more pressing claims.

Maximun Gold

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: Ruben Gomez Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 45-221

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; got the job done in a maiden optional claimer by half a length when opening her account at the fifth time of asking 21 days ago; Move up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher so difficult to build a solid case for her.

Amorita

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: R Mandella Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 1-412
