Verdict: Firm preference is for TACTICAL EXPRESS. She could be the main beneficiary if the front runners go too fast, while Ruby's Posse is an interesting candidate.

Fly Without Cupid

Jockey: Felipe Valdez Trainer: Bill Geditz Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 07

Comment: Finished out the back upped to 1m last week in a maiden special weight; runs in claiming company for the first time; not hard to turn elsewhere despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Tactical Express

Jockey: Alonso Quinonez Trainer: Santiago Tranquilino Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 3-694

Comment: Long-standing maiden; beaten 11l in a maiden claimer two weeks ago; shown she can be competitive fairly recently and must be in the mix.

Denada

Jockey: Karlo Lopez Trainer: Ryan Kenney Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 5-66

Comment: Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (7l) over 6½f at Turf Paradise (maiden optional claimer) in April; some promise; closest she has come to winning after four starts was a third; makes limited appeal as vastly reduced claiming tag raises a question mark.

She's Just Divine

Jockey: Constantino Roman Trainer: Michael Biehler Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 66-46

Comment: Yet to finish better than fourth in her four races; last of six in a maiden claimer last month; now down in class (in for $12.5k from $30k); one to take seriously.

Divine Gift

Jockey: Harry Hernandez Trainer: Bennie Woolley Jr Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 343525

Comment: Favourite two weeks ago but failed to deliver when fifth in a maiden claimer; useful in this grade and has arguably shown improved form the last twice; warrants respect judged on finishing second two starts back.

Ruby's Posse

Jockey: Victor Santiago Trainer: Victor Hanson Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 8252-9

Comment: First-time blinkers had no impact in a maiden special weight when beaten 13l three weeks ago; signs of improvement on last two runs; one to consider despite defeat last time as finished second two runs back.

Verdict: XTREME DIVA is a firm selection. She boasts a good career strike-rate and the likely strong pace up front is a plus. Xtreme Smoke Show and Morally Complex must be respected.

Morally Complex

Jockey: Constantino Roman Trainer: Ronald Westermann Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 281532

Comment: Solid performance to finish second at 25-1 over 1m here (allowance race) last Thursday; warrants respect.

Xtreme Diva

Jockey: Eduardo Gallardo Trainer: McLean Robertson Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 1236-4

Xtreme Smoke Show

Jockey: Harry Hernandez Trainer: McLean Robertson Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 354-04

Thunders Rocknroll

Jockey: Fausto Silva Da Trainer: Wade Rarick Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 566-22

Comment: Brings winning C&D form to the table; string of consistent efforts of late; didn't run badly when 22-1 second upped to 1m last month in a stakes; in the mix as recent display was promising and dropping in class.

Jockey: Karlo Lopez Trainer: Mikayla Wright Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 6-533

Feather Inthe Wind

Jockey: Guillermo Rodriguez Trainer: Heath Lawrence Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 1221U-

Comment: Failed to finish at Ferndale in September in an allowance race; proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a seventh win); first attempt on turf; returns from a layoff here; this line-up contains some strong opposition so is passed over.
