Verdict: SMART CRY gets the vote. She has previous experience to her name and will have learnt from her debut experience, while Sonde Tails certainly isn't out of it.

Funding The Kids

Jockey: Fredy Peltroche Trainer: David Walters Age/Wt: 3/8-4

Comment: Is respected as looks to be doing the right things in her workouts and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Sonde Tails

Jockey: Christian Hiraldo Trainer: Timothy Grams Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 45

Comment: Just her third outing so still early days; split Lil Knockout and Aqua Duchess in a maiden special weight when fifth beaten just over 4l 28 days ago; should get involved.

Smart Cry

Jockey: Larry Reynolds Trainer: Timothy Grams Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 7

Comment: Never landed a blow on her debut when seventh of eight over 6½f at 11-2 15 days ago; every chance given she should have learnt plenty from that experience.

Count The Flowers

Jockey: Christian Maldonado Trainer: Michael Atkins Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 65465

Comment: Respectable effort in defeat (beaten just over 4l) when close behind Sonde Tails two months ago in a maiden special weight; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 16; may have to settle for supporting role.

Carmelized

Jockey: Gustavo Larrosa Trainer: William Lewis Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 5833

Comment: Not disgraced when third at 20-1 in a maiden claimer three weeks ago; has arguably shown improved form the last twice but still winless and defeats stacking up (21 on the bounce); this represents a step up in class so has some questions to answer.

Verdict: SHARPASADIAMOND is taken to get off the mark after finishing runner-up on his first start and made a good fist of his first run. Remy's Top Gun, Renegade Rabbit and Bonds Revenge are also respected.

Holiday Cash

Jockey: Christian Hiraldo Trainer: Ronney Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-10

Comment: Related to Lavello (winner from 4½f up to 7f); trainer has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; faces fairly tall order so easy enough to oppose.

Fungo Fungo

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Vanessa Peltroche Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 058523

Comment: A respectable third of eight when close behind Sharpasadiamond (sloppy track) two weeks ago in a maiden claimer; has kicked on in his last couple of races but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as not in the habit of winning recently.

Jockey: Christian Maldonado Trainer: William Atkins Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 4-8475

Comment: Problems at the start (sluggish) when fifth of seven three weeks ago dropped down to this trip splitting Bali Hai and Martha's Heart (sloppy track) in a claimer; one-time useful operator and multiple course winner; by no means ruled out as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and she has shown signs of promise in the past.

Jockey: Antonio Lopez Trainer: Michael Sterling Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 3-3144

Comment: Course specialist who has won five times here; a promoted fourth, finished fifth, over 4½f here (allowance race) two months ago; cannot be ignored as didn't get much luck in running when last seen.

C R's Mandate

Jockey: Walter Cullum Trainer: Sherry Jackson Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 50-348

Comment: Behind four of these rivals when finishing last of eight 28 days ago on his debut for new trainer in an allowance optional claimer; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win two years ago); makes limited appeal as best days now look to behind him.

Nico

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Javier Contreras Age/Wt: 8/8-8 F: 4-63455

Comment: Not far behind Juba's Notion when fifth two weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; has an impressive record over course and distance (four wins from 12 runs) but a while since his last success; up in class (in for $20k here, $15k tag last time); not hard to turn elsewhere as now looks to be past his prime.

Ashtead Lady

Jockey: Jhorma Cespedes Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 3/7-10 F: 314674

Comment: Slumped a bit since winning a maiden claimer at Penn National three months ago; behind City Taah over 6½f here (claimer) when fourth of six (sloppy track) last month; a lot on her plate here and hard to make a case for her.

Institution

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 314-6

Comment: Was tailed off (broke in air at the start) five months ago (Laurel Park) in a claimer; represents a powerful stable; has had some time off; the Brittany Russell outfit is running hot currently; strong claims despite defeats on last two starts as she scored three runs back and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Comment: Ran well when beaten just over 1l in a claimer (sloppy track) upped to 6½f last month; managed just one success in her career to date; tag has been raised to $5k; looks more likely to place than win so hard to recommend.

Jockey: Reshawn Latchman Trainer: David Walters Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 37716-

Comment: Useful in this grade and signs of improvement on last two runs; close up behind Tidbit when sixth in September in a claimer; has had some time off; could be in the mix as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and shown she can win fairly recently.

Comment: Good and bad recent runs found on her CV and subpar record of 1-17; behind Tidbit when beaten 14l 22 days ago (sloppy track) upped to 6½f in a claimer; others appeal more as this is a fairly competitive event.

Just A Rainbow

Jockey: Christian Maldonado Trainer: Michelle Knoblauch Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 32716

Comment: Sluggish at the start here over 6½f (allowance race) when last of six on her first start for this trainer six weeks ago; this is her grade and seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; likely to be in contention if duplicating the form of her most recent win and she won a maiden claimer two runs back.
