Spotlight He can be competitive at this level and useful in his prime; not disgraced when fifth of six at Prairie Meadows four weeks ago in a claimer; claiming tag drops to $4k (from $10k); shown he can be competitive fairly recently and capable of going well.

Spotlight Far from disgraced (beaten 5l, Evangeline Downs) in August in a claimer; has an impressive record over course and distance (three wins from 14 runs); tag has been raised to $5k; his best looks to be behind him and looks an unlikely winner.

Spotlight Finished last of 11 in a claimer 50 days ago at Louisiana Downs upped to 7f; may have reached limits of his ability; tag drops from $5k to $4k here; may not be up to this.

Spotlight 11th of 12 when favourite (Lone Star Park) four months ago in a claimer; better than this level in his prime and has won four times over C&D; makes debut for stable; layoff to overcome; should not be far away as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and in off a lower claiming tag.

Spotlight A winner over C&D; one-time useful performer; respectable effort (beaten 2½l) four months ago at Lone Star Park in an allowance race; returns from a layoff here; first run for stable; could be hard to beat if building on last performance.

Spotlight On the premises when second of eight (Evangeline Downs) two months ago in a claimer; last won over C&D last January and perhaps looks to have to reached his ceiling; claiming value now drops to $4k.

Spotlight Finished last of five in an optional claimer at Prairie Meadows last month; possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability and form is hit and miss; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $4k); makes debut for trainer; makes limited appeal as now looks to be past his prime.

Spotlight Missed out by just over 1l at Prairie Meadows over 6f (claimer) last month; calmer waters here (in for $4k, $5k tag last time); first start for current stable; others more persuasive as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

Spotlight Likes this combination of C&D; better than this level in his prime; fair effort when beaten 5l (Louisiana Downs) three weeks ago in a claimer; drops to a $5k tag from $8k; makes his debut for new stable; he has a shout as latest run was an encouraging one.

Spotlight Finished eighth, beaten a fair way at Louisiana Downs last month in a claimer; may have reached limits of his ability and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2022); tag drops from $12.5k to $4k here; is passed over.

Spotlight Minor honours when 5-4 49 days ago (Louisiana Downs) in a claimer; possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; recent efforts have generally been solid; makes debut for trainer; in for the same tag ($5k).

Spotlight Favourite when last of seven at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing over 6f (claimer) in July; useful in his prime and he can be competitive at this level; class riser as runs for a $4k tag here; down in trip here.
