Spotlight Hit the bar in a stakes in July and running consistently; finished fourth 43 days ago albeit only beaten just under 3l at Saratoga dropped back in distance in an allowance optional claimer; hard to ignore as his jockey has an impressive record from low draws over this C&D.

Spotlight Hails from a good stable and ran well in a stakes last November; respectable effort (beaten just under 2l) in a stakes (Aqueduct) in April; returns from an absence here; has to be taken seriously with drop in class a positive and jockey does well from inside draws here.

Spotlight Has been fairly consistent this year; split a number of these rivals over 1m½f at Saratoga (allowance race) when fourth, beaten less than a length 36 days ago; warrants respect as recent performance was encouraging.

Spotlight Finished a decent runner-up of eight in an allowance race (Saratoga) with Samburu and Ramblin' Wreck behind three months ago; signs of improvement on last two runs and hails from a good stable; a leading player.

Spotlight Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice and bids for hat-trick; got the job done in a claimer by half a length at Colonial Downs 50 days ago; Junior Alvarado a notable jockey booking; others are preferred despite that win last time.

Spotlight Behind several of these at Saratoga when last of ten 36 days ago in an allowance race; this is competitive and looks an unlikely winner.

Spotlight Managed two wins in his last six outings; can be a player at this level; split a number of these rivals in an allowance race at Saratoga when beaten 3½l in seventh on debut for this trainer 36 days ago; is respected.

Spotlight Last of five 42 days ago at Saratoga in a stakes; has won at this course; is passed over despite dropping in class.

Spotlight Successful three times from 13 career runs and has maintained his consistent level of form; had a bunch of these rivals behind him over 1m½f at Saratoga (allowance race) when only just held five weeks ago; one to note.

Spotlight Finished eighth, beaten just over 5l, here over 1m½f (optional claimer), showing early speed to lead from a wide draw on first run for his current trainer two weeks ago; winner of two of his four career starts; now up to allowance level so others make more appeal.

Spotlight Successful seven times from 51 career starts (6f-1m½f); favourite and just beaten at Colonial Downs 37 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; makes limited appeal as not in the habit of winning recently.

Spotlight Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; ran a good race in defeat when a close third over 1m½f at Saratoga (allowance race) five weeks ago.

Spotlight Suited by this C&D; this is his level; not disgraced when fifth over 1m1f here (allowance race) last month on debut for this trainer; drops in trip.
