Con On The Run

Jockey: Eddie Dominguez Trainer: Kimberly Depasquale Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 23-48

Comment: Behind Housebuilder when eighth 14 days ago in a claimer; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win) but hasn't won for a while; is passed over as no longer in his pomp.

Housebuilder

Jockey: Brandon Tapara Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 25-41

Comment: Season-ticket holder here with three wins; came out on top by just over 1l over 5½f here (claimer) two weeks ago, returning to winning ways; despite that Presque Isle Downs success, others more appealing.

The Sinner Is You

Jockey: Martina Rojas Trainer: Murray Rojas Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: 232-13

Comment: Has been consistent of late and goes very well here with six course-and-distance wins to his name; respectable effort in a claimer four weeks ago; class dropper as runs for a $5k tag here; entitled to respect as his peak speed figure over the past year puts him clear.

Sanpirodu

Jockey: Willie Martinez Trainer: Gerald Brooks Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 1-76810

Comment: Last of ten over 1m½f here (claimer) on his first start for this trainer 19 days ago; admirable career strike-rate (three from 14 to date); in for a $5k tag so down in class ($8.5k last time); one to note.

Awesome Fantasy

Jockey: Ronald Allen Jr Trainer: Maria Bowersock Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 45175-

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when fifth of eight in October at Mahoning Valley in a claimer; useful in this grade; returns from a layoff; deeper waters here (in for $6.3k here, $5k tag last time); if excused most recent runs he would be interesting based on success three runs ago; hard to ignore.

Comment: Generally struggled with a record of 1-13 but has proven competitive in a race of this nature; beaten 11l over 5½f here (claimer) last month; claiming value now drops to $6.3k; is a player as he finished third in October.

Twisted Empress

Comment: Recent form hardly the most inspiring and still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce); beaten 18l (seventh) 20 days ago on her debut for this trainer (dropped to 6f) in a maiden claimer; is passed over.

Comment: Beaten 12l in seventh 28 days ago on first run for this trainer in a maiden claimer; still searching for first win after seven tries; class riser as runs for a $15k tag here; her claims aren't overly compelling.

Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica Trainer: Anthony Farrior Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 848-7

Comment: Was seventh of 11, beaten 8l, at Laurel Park over 1m (maiden claimer) two weeks ago; attempting to open her account at the fifth time of asking but related to Stakes winner Follow The Dog; now eased in the grades (in for $15k); the stable has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and expected to be in the thick of things.

Jockey: Rosario Montanez Trainer: Scooter Davis Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 4-7921

Comment: Three-time C&D winner, including 12 days ago when finishing ahead of seven rivals (4-1); form of the stable is a plus; has strong claims.

Call The Ball

Jockey: Huber Villa Gomez Trainer: Brendan Gilmartin Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 252-5

Comment: Three-time winner within the resume (from 5½f-1m); safely held here two weeks ago behind Mor Spring Spirit when beaten 6l (fifth of seven) in a claimer; this line-up contains some strong opposition so others more persuasive.

Gran Conquistadora

Jockey: Brooke Bays Trainer: Marco Ccamaque Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 73660

Comment: Finished behind three of these rivals when tailed off three weeks ago in a maiden claimer; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at ten; facing a testing assignment and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Brand New Dance

Jockey: Matilda Burnham Trainer: Niall Saville Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9865

Comment: Not disgraced in fifth at Laurel Park last week in a maiden claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $7.5k here; she shouldn't be far away.

R Penelope

Jockey: Juan Belisario Trainer: Murray Rojas Age/Wt: 5/8-3 F: 3-7438

Comment: Form has an up and down look to it and yet to open her account after ten starts; finished out the back 13 days ago in a maiden claimer; booking of Juan Belisario takes the eye; this line-up contains some strong opposition so hard to recommend.

Mrs. Manicotti

Jockey: Martina Rojas Trainer: Murray Rojas Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9-6825

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when fifth of eight (lunged at the start) 20 days ago in a maiden claimer; has kicked on in her last couple of races; tag drops from $15k to $7.5k here; a good second two starts back and likely to be in contention.

Tapas Warrior

Jockey: Antonio Gallardo Trainer: Brandon Kulp Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 3253

Comment: Four-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; finished third but wasn't beaten too far (7l, dropped back to this distance) at Penn National two weeks ago in a maiden claimer; claiming value now drops to $7.5k; Brandon Kulp's runners are going great guns at the moment; every chance.
