Verdict: CAFFEINENNICOTINE knows how to get his nose in front and has won over this C&D. John's Notion, Defiant Giant and Toodleswasmyname should also be in the mix.

Defiant Giant

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Jeff Runco Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 432-5

11/4

Comment: Admirably consistent; respectable effort (beaten 4½l) over 7f here (allowance race) splitting My Boy Clyde, John's Notion and Caffeinennicotine five weeks ago; shown he can win fairly recently and is a player.

John's Notion

Jockey: Antonio Lopez Trainer: Kristy Petty Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 5-142

7/2

Comment: Good effort when close up four weeks ago in an allowance race; successful twice in his last six starts; producing consistent form; deserves respect.

Caffeinennicotine

Jockey: Grant Whitacre Trainer: Elizabeth Meehan Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 6221-6

7/2

Comment: Managed two wins in his last six outings; failed to reward backers (11-10) when sixth 33 days ago in an allowance race; major player.

W V Lad

Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: Kristy Gazzier Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 56-223

7/1

Comment: Consistent lately; split My Boy Clyde and Powered By Love when third last month in a claimer; step up to allowance company will make life tougher so not hard to turn elsewhere.

My Boy Clyde

Jockey: Reshawn Latchman Trainer: Javier Contreras Age/Wt: 6/8-8 F: 5-3422

7/1

Comment: Beaten half a length in a claimer (had W V Lad and Powered By Love behind) last month; not a frequent winner; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so others have more pressing claims.

Youthful Energy

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Anthony Lucas Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 145-5

15/2

Comment: Split Powered By Love and Cedar Runs Fiber when fifth last month in an allowance race; this is competitive and he can be taken on.

8/1

Comment: Respectable fourth on debut outing for new trainer three weeks ago when ahead of a couple of these in an allowance race; normally pretty consistent; now over an extra 2f.

Toodleswasmyname

Jockey: Larry Reynolds Trainer: Timothy Grams Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 631-81

20/1

Comment: Recorded second C&D win 27 days ago; successful twice in his last three starts; Timothy Grams's runners are going great guns at the moment; one to be interested in.

Cedar Runs Fiber

Jockey: Justin Lewis Trainer: Kevin Boykins Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 15516

40/1

Comment: Finished last of six over 4½f here (allowance race, bobbled at the start) three weeks ago; successful twice in his last five starts; this looks a decent race so has some questions to answer.

Big Bad Brass

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Jeff Runco Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 31-951

Comment: Enjoyed the run of the race here over 7f (claimer) when getting the job done by three-quarters of a length six weeks ago; on target twice in his last four outings; probably unlikely to trouble the principals despite that win last time.

Bid On Blue

Jockey: Christian Maldonado Trainer: Keith Brown Age/Wt: 5/8-5 F: 4-3317

Comment: Behind a bunch of these over 7f here (allowance race) when finishing last of seven 33 days ago; this is competitive and has questions to answer.
