BEAR CLAWS had been in good form prior to an excusable run (caught very wide) at this course a month ago and, in a weak race, he's worth a chance to get back on track. The remainder all have something to prove but Crystal Guard and Kingston Sunflower are at least well handicapped on their best efforts.
