Verdict: I C GOLD is a confident pick. She represents a yard whose newcomers are often capable of running well.

I C Gold

Jockey: Harry Hernandez Trainer: McLean Robertson Age/Wt: 3/8-7

Comment: Trainer has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; must be in the mix.

Bl Forty

Jockey: Eduardo Gallardo Trainer: Edgar Espinoza Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 0

Comment: Beaten 16l on her debut over this distance at Oaklawn Park despite blinkers at 80-1 last month; could improve but still hard to see her winning here.

Take Charge Lilah

Jockey: Victor Santiago Trainer: Troy Bethke Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 4553-7

Comment: Beaten 22l (seventh) in a maiden special weight at Fonner Park three weeks ago; has displayed improved form on last two starts; others are preferred.

Mollys Mia

Jockey: Guillermo Rodriguez Trainer: Troy Bethke Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: -83656

Comment: Found life tough when 11l back in sixth in a maiden claimer at Fonner Park five weeks ago; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 12; faces a tougher assignment this time so hard enough to fancy.

Grace A'lace

Jockey: Karlo Lopez Trainer: Troy Bethke Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 3339-0

Comment: Last of ten in a maiden special weight (behind Take Charge Lilah, Fonner Park) 22 days ago; can give it a good shot as finished third at Canterbury Park three runs ago.

She's Just Divine

Jockey: Daylor Berrios Lopez Trainer: Michael Biehler Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 66-

Comment: Lightly raced (running for just the third time); unable to land a blow when sixth of nine here over 5½f (maiden special weight, behind Take Charge Lilah) in August; has had some time off; ought to be competitive with that experience under her belt.

Verdict: LACONIA is looking to improve her already excellent record at this distance and should be suited by the abundance of pace up front. Birdie Be Gone represents a threat.

Laconia

Jockey: Harry Hernandez Trainer: Jon Arnett Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 43-415

Comment: Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-17); a disappointing result (went off favourite) when beaten just under 3l two months ago at Tampa Bay Downs in a claimer; very interesting.

Unrivaled Queen

Jockey: Felipe Valdez Trainer: Rafael Barraza Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 1-43512

Comment: A course winner; won a stakes last month; missed out by half a length in a stakes (Turf Paradise) four weeks ago; drop back to claiming level so should get involved.

In The Vault

Jockey: Guillermo Rodriguez Trainer: Bennie Woolley Jr Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 3-6111

Comment: Comes here off the back of a hat-trick and successful eight times from 38 career runs; got the job done by just over 2l in a claimer at Turf Paradise four weeks ago on debut for this trainer; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others make more appeal.

Birdie Be Gone

Jockey: Daniel Vergara Trainer: Michael Biehler Age/Wt: 7/8-10 F: 4424-5

Comment: Fifth of six beaten 9l in a stakes at Will Rogers Downs last month; goes very well here with three C&D wins to her name; dropped in grade to claiming level so has to be taken seriously.

Raven's Quest

Jockey: Fausto Silva Da Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 5/8-10 F: 38-462

Lady Astrid

Jockey: Kelsi Harr Trainer: Robert Cline Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: -7213

Smooching

Jockey: Karlo Lopez Trainer: Ryan Kenney Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1-48611

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 5-12 and attempts to land a hat-trick; scored by a slim margin in an allowance optional claimer at Turf Paradise last month; despite that Turf Paradise success, easy enough to take on.
