Verdict: KNICKOLETTA gets the vote. She represents a trainer that gets plenty of first-time-out winners, while Tush Push, Glancing My Way and Thirst For Hope are interesting.

Glancing My Way

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Tim Girten Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sibling of Irish Valentine (4½f winner); newcomers from this trainer regularly hit the target; should not be ruled out.

Knickoletta

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: From a stable whose debutants need a check in the betting; must be considered.

Lips

Jockey: Sunday Jr Diaz Trainer: III Ollie Figgins, Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 7

Comment: Held last of seven but was making her first appearance over 4½f at Charles Town at 18-1 last month; related to Stakes winner Burnin Ring O Fire; first run in claiming company; might be better for the experience although not hard to turn elsewhere.

Date	Course/Race Class/Type		Class	Result	SP	OR
28/06/25	Charles Town / Special Weight, Maiden / F		-	7 / 7	171/10	-

Dye Pack

Jockey: Emmanuel Esquivel Trainer: Susan Cooney Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to Empirical Data, winning form over 5f-6½f; bred to get better as she gets older; would be a surprise to see this one figure.

Kinda Krazy

Jockey: Johan Rosado Trainer: Lacey Gaudet Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to Yours Completely (winner from 5½f up to 7f); trainer capable of preparing a newcomer to win; bred to get better with time; market could reveal prospects.

Thirst For Hope

Jockey: Carol Cedeno Trainer: Lynn Ashby Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 3

Comment: Came home third at Delaware Park on her debut, although she was beaten only three-quarters of a length at 15-8 16 days ago; claiming tag now upped to $40k; the Lynn Ashby outfit is running hot currently; if stepping up from first effort needs considering.

Zirconia

Jockey: Jorge Hernandez Trainer: Hugh McMahon Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sibling of Nat Gas (6f winner); stable more than capable of getting one ready first time out.

Hollywood Mischief

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: III Ollie Figgins, Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 5½f winner War Humor; first time on the track; passed over unless attracting strong support.

Only Maria

Jockey: Christian Maldonado Trainer: W McMahon Age/Wt: 2/8-2

Comment: This daughter of Blofeld makes first appearance; this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise.

Tush Push

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Josue Arce Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to 7f winner My Sugar Boo; from a trainer which has had a winning newcomer in recent days; seems to have been working encouragingly and ought to be considered.

Gettin'downonit

Jockey: Jevian Toledo Trainer: Mark Beecher Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 6-83

Comment: Has gained all his wins at a lower level; possesses winning form at this track; finished last of three in an optional claimer (Penn National) two weeks ago; Jevian Toledo will be looking to further their good record; rates a likely contender if duplicating the form of his most recent win and was a bit unlucky last time.

Comment: Came home sixth, beaten 9l, last month at Belmont At The Big A in an allowance optional claimer; achieved plenty of success against this sort of company; the stable is going well; major player despite being up in class and he ran well in defeat two starts ago.

King Covee

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Phil Schoenthal Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 38-22

Comment: Has a couple of good recent course runs to his name and running consistently; creditable effort to finish runner-up (Belmont At The Big A) 36 days ago in an optional claimer; can be in the thick of things as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Verdict: CHANNEL THE MUSIC looks a solid choice. He has vital experience and made a good fist of his first run. American Tapit and Swerve should also be on the premises.

War World Rocks

Jockey: Joseph Trejos Trainer: Carlos Munoz Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Drop Anchor (6f-1m); Carlos Munoz debutants always command respect here; a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Midnight Ticket

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Irvin Flores Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: This son of Fortune Ticket makes debut; a watching brief the best policy.

Antrax

Comment: Racing education begins here for this son of Global Campaign; related to 5½f winner Evenly Divided; might be one for another day; market may guide.

Channel The Music

Moonlit Frost

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; was on the premises (finished third of 12) when close behind Mamba Mindset at Laurel Park over 5½f (maiden claimer) last month; not been able to get his head in front lately so not one to rely on.

Showstopper Copper

Jockey: Ben Curtis Trainer: Thomas Lingenfelter Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 16-10

Comment: Beaten a long way at Parx over 6½f (allowance optional claimer) in January; has chalked up three wins from his last five; returns from an absence here; this represents a step up in class so unlikely to trouble the principals.

King Covee

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Phil Schoenthal Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 38-22

Comment: Plenty of recent solid runs to his name at this venue and running consistently; finishing second was a good effort in an optional claimer (Belmont At The Big A) last month; looks likely to go well if replicating most recent run and he can cope with this step up in class.

War Humor

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: III Ollie Figgins, Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 9-5400

Comment: Last of ten at Laurel Park behind Virginia Fitz, last month in an allowance race; brings winning C&D form to the table; with more on his plate others more persuasive.

Verdict: LONGHI has to be the first name on the shortlist. He makes his debut for a top trainer, while Golf Cart Ryder, Richeztoo and No More Calls could also have a role to play.

Cruisetheforest

Jockey: Victor Carrasco Trainer: Irvin Flores Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sibling of Davyjonz (5½f winner); sire gets turf winners; regular trackwork dispels any fitness concerns; breeding suggests he may improve with time; ought to be considered.

Grace Met Cupid

Jockey: Joseph Trejos Trainer: Ben Ramos Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Bred to improve with age; sire gets turf winners; would be a surprise to see this one figure.

No More Calls

Jockey: Jean Briceno Trainer: Kevin Boniface Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 36

Comment: Beaten 13l into sixth in a maiden claimer at Delaware Park 15 days ago; could be in the mix if finding progression from his early experience and he can handle the step up in class.

Longhi

Jockey: Jorge Ruiz Trainer: H Motion Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: This son of Caravaggio looks the part on breeding; sire gets turf winners; trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; leading contender with signs of encouragement in profile and stable is in good order.

Eleos

Jockey: Gavin Ashton Trainer: Carlos Munoz Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; related to 6f winner Will Be; bred to improve with age; a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Kung Foo

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Lester Barbazon Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; trainer is operating at a respectable strike-rate; running for the first time; any positivity in the betting should be noted.

Noahs Pride

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Carlos Munoz Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Liza Star (5½f-1m); first race for the son of Knicks Go; market confidence needed to make him of interest.

Golf Cart Ryder

Jockey: Horacio Karamanos Trainer: Michael Trombetta Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Michael Trombetta team does well at Colonial Downs with debutants; sire does get winners on the turf; nicely bred (by Hard Spun); bred to get better with time; should not be ruled out.

This Is The Life

Jockey: Weston Hamilton Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Uncle Lino gets winners on the turf; his sire is a rich source of sprint winners; stable not renowned for getting debutant winners; sibling of Prince Fred (5f winner); market may guide on this one.

Goodluck Road

Jockey: Matilda Burnham Trainer: Kevin Boniface Age/Wt: 2/8-0

Comment: From the same family as Tiger Jo, a winner over 1m½f; stable not renowned for getting debutant winners; market may guide on this one.

Richeztoo

Jockey: Axel Concepcion Trainer: Sean Duffy Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire gets plenty of two-year-old winners; has plenty of trackwork under his belt; one to be interested in as some good aspects to his profile.

Verdict: MISS BANKS is hard to look beyond. She is taken to confirm the placings with Silly Lily and the make-up of this race should suit a horse who likes to stalk the early speed.

Love Saga

Jockey: Tyler Conner Trainer: Sean Mcdermott Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 996-5

Comment: Creditable fifth, beaten 2½l, of seven at Delaware Park last month in a maiden claimer; if she can build on her latest effort then one to be interested in.

Radiant Tones

Comment: Respectable fourth last month finished just ahead of Windin Road at Laurel Park in a maiden claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $16k here; needs considering if building on most recent effort and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark.

Comment: Produced an encouraging effort (third of 12, beaten just over 2l) at Delaware Park (bumped at the start) six weeks ago just ahead of Silly Lily in a maiden claimer; this doesn't look like the strongest maiden claimer and is a big player.

Comment: Yet to get off the mark in six attempts (fifth her best finish); could not manage better than sixth over 6f at Laurel Park (maiden claimer, bobbled at the start) 40 days ago; claiming tag rises to $16k here; may have to settle for supporting role with stamina to prove at this new trip.
