Lord Captain

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 6/8-4 F: 5539-6

Comment: Finished last of six two weeks ago on debut for this handler (sloppy track) in a claimer; has won six times from 6½f up to 1m½f; has winning form at this track; is passed over as a few rivals look in good form.

O P Firecracker

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 434-51

Comment: Ended losing run in a claimer when getting the job done by half a length last month; down in class now, dropping from a $16k tag; respected as has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Centavo

Jockey: Jose Gomez Trainer: Naipaul Chatterpaul Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 671657

Comment: Last of seven in a claimer (muddy track) 14 days ago; winning form over C&D; in for a $10k tag so down in class ($32k last time); a big ask as best days now look to behind him.

Commandperformance

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: Oscar Barrera III Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 9-7232

Comment: String of consistent efforts of late; went close when runner-up three weeks ago (muddy track) in a claimer; tag has been dropped to $10k; definite chance.

Khafre

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Patrick Quick Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 1-4763

Comment: Specialist here with three wins and useful in his prime; close up behind Commandperformance when third in a claimer (muddy track) 21 days ago upped to this trip; eased in class with tag standing at $10k here; entitled to respect.

Retail Man

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Robert Johnston Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 30-54

Comment: Has proven competitive in a race of this nature and successful three times from 6f to 1m½f; creditable effort to finish fourth, beaten 3½l when close behind Commandperformance (problems in the gate at the start) upped to this distance in a claimer last month; his best form stacks up so prospects.

Jockey: Luis Rivera Jr Trainer: Juan Bernardini Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 7-13667

Comment: Came home seventh, beaten 19l, in a claimer three weeks ago; has won three times here and smart performer at one stage; deserves respect.
