Verdict: HEY BOOTS gets a firm vote. He is bidding to land a ninth win over this C&D and can reverse last time's placings with Talkin Pharoah.

Talkin Pharoah

Jockey: Luis Batista Trainer: Michael Jones Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: -1151

Comment: Yet to taste defeat at this track, winning on all three visits; better than this level in his pomp; three wins from three runs over C&D, including last time when beating six rivals (14-5); should go well.

Hey Boots

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 3-1215

Comment: Safely held here last month behind Talkin Pharoah when fifth of six in an allowance optional claimer; a prolific winner over this C&D; the Anthony Farrior outfit is running hot currently; clear chance as jockey does well from inside draws here.

Cajun Joe

Jockey: Sunday Jr Diaz Trainer: Manolo Mangual Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 331334

Comment: Finished just behind Mr. Mox when fourth last month in an allowance optional claimer; has an impressive record over course and distance (three wins from 15 runs); has been fairly consistent of late; this is competitive and there are better alternatives here.

Goodafternoonoscar

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Carlos Mancilla Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 55-757

Comment: Last of seven over 1m at Delaware Park (optional claimer) last week; he can be competitive at this level; class dropper as runs for a $10k tag here; he's an attractive contender if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Town Topic

Jockey: Abnel Bocachica Trainer: Curtis Bass Age/Wt: 4/8-12

Lil Knockout

Jockey: Carlos Marrero Trainer: Linda Dollinger-Stehr Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 3-923

Comment: Beaten into third when 4-5 in a maiden special weight (just behind Sonde Tails) last month; yet to open her account after 12 starts.

Stella's Candy

Jockey: Victor Rodriguez Trainer: Victor Espinosa Age/Wt: 4/8-12

Comment: First start in public for this daughter of Candygram; might be one for another day; market may guide as faces a tough assignment on this debut.

Appletini Miss

Jockey: Reshawn Latchman Trainer: Kristy Gazzier Age/Wt: 3/8-4

Comment: Has busy trackwork profile; related to Ciderhouse Way (winner from 4½f up to 6½f); must be considered.

One Year More

Jockey: Julio Jorge Trainer: Kristy Gazzier Age/Wt: 4/8-12

Comment: First public outing; workout history suggests fitness may not be an issue; yard's stats offers some hope; the betting can guide but a watching brief probably the best policy.

Aim's Redirect

Jockey: Christian Maldonado Trainer: Stephen Reggetts Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 33323-

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts and normally pretty consistent; came up a bit short, beaten 3l when favourite, upped to 7f in September in a maiden special weight; returns from a break today; should give it a bold bid.

Mamaslittlemonster

Jockey: Jhorma Cespedes Trainer: William Straughn Age/Wt: 3/7-11

Comment: First career outing for this three-year-old daughter of Monster Mash; trainer doesn't have the finest record with newcomers so overlooked unless the market says otherwise.

Sonde Tails

Jockey: Christian Hiraldo Trainer: Timothy Grams Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 452

Comment: Ran well to finish second (beaten just over 3l) 28 days ago in a maiden special weight; one to note.

Cry Tough

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Jeff Runco Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 2-32

Comment: Missed out by half a length in a maiden special weight where just ahead of Our Memories last week; form of the yard is a plus; big chance.

Our Memories

Jockey: Kelvin Cruz Trainer: Timothy Grams Age/Wt: 3/8-4 F: 424

Comment: Finished behind Cry Tough in a maiden special weight when failing to live up to market expectations last week; Kelvin Cruz here for one ride; should prove competitive as has bits and pieces of decent form and market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better.
