Verdict: CAN I GET AWITNESS looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and takes the eye from a recent form perspective. Just A Rainbow and Paperback Edition are among the dangers.

Paperback Edition

Jockey: Angel Cruz Trainer: Mary Eppler Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 242107

Comment: Finished last of seven over 6f at Delaware Park (claimer) last month; grade looks suitable; now down in class (in for $5k from $7.5k); her best form stacks up so looks a contender.

Golden Girl Lena

Jockey: Sunday Jr Diaz Trainer: III Ollie Figgins, Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 135949

Comment: Last of nine at Colonial Downs over 1m (claimer) last month; largely disappointing since successful in a maiden claimer at Laurel Park in March; eased in class with tag standing at $5k here; others appeal more.

Saffron

Jockey: Abnel Bocachica Trainer: Cynthia Mckee Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 549435

Comment: Been a while since she managed only win; finished just behind Dee Dee Six when fifth in a claimer three weeks ago; has shown some ability on occasion and likely to be in contention.

Jockey: Alexis Espinoza Trainer: III Ollie Figgins, Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 6180-

Comment: Lightly raced (this just her fifth race); last of ten at Laurel Park in October in a claimer; has had some time off; tag has been dropped to $5k; hard enough to fancy.

Can I Get Awitness

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 456341

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts; scored by 2½l, breaking her duck at the eighth time of asking over 6½f (maiden claimer) last Friday; in for a $5k tag so down in class ($12.5k last time); the trainer continues to be among winners recently; leading claims.

Comment: Successful by three-quarters of a length to claim second C&D win 36 days ago; on target twice in her last three outings; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and is a major player.

Cajun Joe

Comment: Has been consistent of late and has gained three wins over course and distance; didn't run badly when 11-1 second in an optional claimer (muddy track) last month (had two of these rivals behind).

Verdict: SHARPASADIAMOND rates a strong recommendation. He looks best placed to take advantage if the front-runners go too fast and has won once over this C&D. Rum N Coke, Juba's Heart and Bold Rock can give the selection something to think about.

Juba's Heart

Jockey: Jhorma Cespedes Trainer: Ronney Brown Age/Wt: 3/7-11 F: 5-36212

Bali Hai

Jockey: Victor Rodriguez Trainer: Alfred Scott Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 417385

Comment: Finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (6l) in a claimer when separating a number of reopposing rivals last month; not hard to look beyond her as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Green Gables

Jockey: Javier Rivera Trainer: Keturah Letts Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 3-1568

Comment: Not really built on success in a claimer in January at Charles Town; finished last of eight in a claimer (behind six of these rivals) last month; unlikely to make a serious impact as now looks to be past her prime.

Peggy's Way

Jockey: Jhorma Cespedes Trainer: Ronney Brown Age/Wt: 4/8-5 F: 413924

Comment: Finished fifth but subsequently promoted to fourth three weeks ago in a claimer; has maintained her consistent level of form; makes limited appeal given this looks a decent race.

Cowgirl Attitude

Jockey: Marshall Mendez Trainer: Jean Adorno Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 411376

Comment: Has gained seven wins over course and distance; not disgraced when sixth of eight three weeks ago in a claimer; she can make a bold bid.

Talent Expected

Jockey: Maximo Chilo Trainer: Timothy Grams Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 1077/7

Comment: Finished last of seven in May (behind Tiz The Reason) in a claimer; better than this level in her pomp and has an impressive record over course and distance (five wins from 18 runs); warrants respect.

She Speaks

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 777321

Comment: Resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); won by 3½l in a claimer last month; the stable continues to be among winners recently; leading claims.

Sultry Sally H

Jockey: Abnel Bocachica Trainer: Timothy Vick Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 6-76663

Comment: A promoted third, finished fourth, three weeks ago in a claimer; knows how to win here but no longer appears to be improving.

Streetcorner

Jockey: Carlos Marrero Trainer: Stacey Viands Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 1-45361

Comment: Gained narrow success in a claimer 35 days ago; has chalked up two wins from her last six; should get involved.

Special Note

Jockey: Anthony Mawing Trainer: Kent Knudsen Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 942832

Comment: A promoted runner-up, finished third, in a claimer last month; capable of making an impact if replicating most recent run.

Now Showing

Jockey: Jose Lopez Trainer: Angel Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1-47686

Comment: Has struggled to factor since winning a claimer at Gulfstream Park in December but can be a player at this level; finished sixth, beaten a fair way over 5f at Gulfstream Park (claimer) 49 days ago; drops to a $5k tag from $10k.

Tiz The Reason

Jockey: Javier Rivera Trainer: Keturah Letts Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 861447

Comment: Has won 18 times over course and distance and one-time useful operator; not disgraced when seventh last month splitting Special Note, Sultry Sally H and Peggy's Way in a claimer; in for the same tag ($5k).
