Count The Flowers

Jockey: Christian Maldonado Trainer: Michael Atkins Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 54658

Comment: Without a win after 17 attempts; finished last of eight at the weekend in a maiden special weight; jockey booking heightens interest; likely to be a threat if replicating best previous efforts.

Tina's Back

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Anthony Lucas Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 354422

Comment: Gone 11 races without a win but has found improvement of late; turned in a solid effort in defeat four weeks ago, when runner-up in a maiden claimer; in for a $7.5k tag so up in class ($7k last time); can figure if reproducing most recent effort.

Enriqueta

Jockey: Jhorma Cespedes Trainer: Osborne Smith Age/Wt: 3/7-10 F: 5568

Comment: Yet to manage better than fifth in her five races; finished out the back in blinkers (sloppy track) 21 days ago on debut outing for new trainer in a maiden special weight upped to 6½f; not an obvious one despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Ginger Twist

Jockey: Victor Rodriguez Trainer: Kristy Gazzier Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 85-6

Comment: Comfortably beaten into sixth in a maiden special weight with blinkers applied five weeks ago; best she's managed so far is fifth from three career starts but related to Stakes winner Mystic Seaport; strong claims as she drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Comment: Favourite and just beaten in an allowance optional claimer last Thursday on debut for this trainer; goes very well here with five course-and-distance wins to his name; down in class now, dropping from a $25k tag; easy to see him making an impression.

Verdict: NOTIPTONI is strongly fancied to prevail. She has shown she can get her head in front and the likely strong pace up front is a plus. Buckskin Suzie rates the main danger.

Sunshine Hazel

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Bruce Kravets Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 242412

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs and normally pretty consistent; finished ahead of four of these in a claimer when beaten just over 1l in April; her jockey has an impressive record from low numbers over this C&D so could be in the mix.

Chippewa Bay

Jockey: Jhorma Cespedes Trainer: Ronney Brown Age/Wt: 3/7-10 F: 6494

Comment: Split a number of these rivals in a maiden claimer when beaten 6l in fourth (bobbled at the start) last month; claiming tag now upped from $7.5k; others appeal more.

A Reason To Party

Jockey: Alexis Jr Rios Conde Trainer: Anthony Grigsby Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 674484

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth of eight in a maiden claimer (sloppy track) splitting Fungo Fungo, Dontcrosstheline and Intention To Zip 21 days ago; warrants respect if replicating best previous efforts.

Fungo Fungo

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Vanessa Peltroche Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 585238

Comment: Long-term maiden (0-9) but signs of improvement on last two runs; could not manage better than eighth last Saturday in a maiden special weight; looks likely to be involved as finished third 21 days ago and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark.

Last Of Bad Boys

Jockey: Denis Araujo Trainer: Kathleen Hamlin Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 7/454-6

Comment: Losing run totals 11; comfortably beaten finishing sixth last month in a maiden claimer; shown signs of promise here and there and he isn't without hope.

El Profeto

Jockey: Sunday Jr Diaz Trainer: Jr William Aylor, Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 58-

Comment: Tailed off in October upped to 7f in a maiden special weight; has had some time off; up against it despite dropping in class.

Dontcrosstheline

Jockey: Abnel Bocachica Trainer: Michael Atkins Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 875555

Comment: Split a number of these rivals when not living up to expectations three weeks ago (sloppy track) in a maiden claimer; wears first-time blinkers; big chance.

Intention To Zip

Jockey: Wilfredo Santiago Trainer: Joseph Stehr Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 6008

Comment: Last of eight when dropped back to this trip (sloppy track) 21 days ago in a maiden claimer; attempting to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking (sixth his best finish so far); shown nothing recently so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Bovarius Secret

Jockey: J Acosta Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 4/8-12

Comment: Been active in workouts; the only newcomer in the field; related to multiple race winner Smokin Lady (4½f-7f); needs to be respected.

Juba's Taj

Jockey: Andre Ramgeet Trainer: Linda Dollinger-Stehr Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 7-69

Comment: Yet to manage better than sixth in his three races; not far behind Fungo Fungo when ninth in a maiden special weight at the weekend; must go on the shortlist as he now drops into a maiden claimer for the first time.

Crush 'n Run

Jockey: Gustavo Larrosa Trainer: William Lewis Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 565-77

Comment: 14th attempt to break his duck; tailed off in a maiden special weight upped to 6½f on Saturday; steps down in trip.
