Verdict: ALWAYS A DIVA is a firm choice. She is a likely-looking newcomer that may be equal to the challenge, while Lovely Story and Dynamic Fire are among the dangers.

Lovely Story

Jockey: Frank Alvarado Trainer: Tim McCanna Age/Wt: 3/8-9

Comment: Trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; she can make a bold bid with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Always A Diva

Jockey: Kevin Krigger Trainer: Vince Gibson Age/Wt: 3/8-9

Shady Harbor

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Howard Gibson Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: -

Comment: Recent workouts point to readiness; related to Hit The Beach (winner from 5½f up to 1m½f); ought to be competitive with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire gets speedy types.

Trickle

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Faustino Patino Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 6-

Comment: Beaten 12l on her debut running here over 4½f with blinkers tried at 18-1 in September; returns from a layoff; could improve although needs to as could be telling that she is in for a much lower tag.

Dynamic Fire

Comment: Finished just behind Chalkoneupformom when fourth over 5f at Pleasanton (maiden claimer) in December; now down in class (in for $25k from $32k); by no means ruled out as shown some ability on occasion.

Comment: Got home in front by a short head in a claimer on debut outing for new trainer 14 days ago; successful three times in his last six starts; claiming tag rises from $5k last time; despite that Emerald Downs success, hard enough to fancy.

Comment: Problems at the start (bumped) in a claimer (Turf Paradise) upped to 6½f five weeks ago, returning to winning ways; a winner over C&D; should go well as recent win points to him being able to handle class rise and has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals.

Letsgotothebar

Jockey: Frank Alvarado Trainer: Jennifer Nunnally Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 5-2368

Comment: Finished eighth, beaten 19l, in a maiden claimer at Turf Paradise behind Avellinasa, in March; claiming tag now upped from $4.5k; last two runs were below standard set by third at Turf Paradise three starts ago; has a decent shout.

Kiko Boy

Jockey: Pablo Castillo Trainer: Jose Puentes Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 74

Comment: Bumped at the start in blinkers when beaten 13l in a maiden claimer on first run for current trainer last month; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $5k); should give it a bold bid.

Hunting For Gold

Jockey: Alex Cruz Trainer: Jose Aguila Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 74-5

Comment: Was fifth of seven, beaten 18l, upped to this trip in March at Santa Anita in a maiden claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $5k here; others are preferred.

First Endeavor

Jockey: Manuel Americano Trainer: Steve Bullock Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 5522-3

Comment: Admirably consistent and has found improvement of late; not beaten far when third here over 5f (maiden claimer) where he had two of these rivals behind two weeks ago; must go on the shortlist if building on promise shown last time.

Allante

Jockey: David Martin Trainer: Howard Belvoir Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 372-5

Comment: Can be a player at this level and stepped up on his last two starts; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 9l) in a maiden claimer two weeks ago; has shown glimpses of ability recently and no surprise to see him go well.

Cause For Divorce

Jockey: Kevin Orozco Trainer: Jamey Thomas Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 4622-6

Comment: No impression when sixth of seven two months ago (Turf Paradise) in a maiden claimer; has taken a step forward the last twice and has not had much racing; tag has been dropped to $5k; need to draw a line through his last run, but was second two starts back; has to be taken seriously.
