Verdict: HARLAN'S LEGACY could cash in if the leaders go too fast and has a healthy career strike-rate. Bareback Fun, Teshima and Timely Secret also warrant respect.

Claire's Darling

Jockey: Charle Oliveros Trainer: Virginia Demczyk Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 133-61

Comment: A good winner last month in a claimer; performed at a higher level than this in her peak and record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 10-46); a likely player.

Future Flay

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Juan Aguirre Age/Wt: 7/8-8 F: 5-364

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 4½l) 12 days ago in a claimer; patchy form recently and hasn't won for a while; now switched to turf for the first time; now looks to be past her prime and she looks up against it.

Cricket West

Teshima

Jockey: Brandon Whitacre Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 3256

Comment: Unable to land a blow when sixth of seven at Presque Isle Downs 13 days ago in a claimer; calmer waters here (in for $4k, $6.3k tag last time); has to be taken seriously as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and she ran well in defeat three starts ago.

Bareback Fun

Jockey: Erik Barbaran Trainer: Jay Bernardini Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 11511

Comment: Scored narrowly in a claimer 14 days ago; going for a hat-trick and record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 13-52); not discounted as lower claiming tag worth taking at face value.

Hebrides

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Stephani Norris Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 482748

Comment: Last of eight upped to this distance two weeks ago behind Cricket West, in an allowance optional claimer; doesn't win often and may not have any more improvement left; claiming value now drops from $12.5k; easy enough to take on.

Too Crowded

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Shane Spiess Age/Wt: 9/8-8 F: 2735-

Harlan's Legacy

Jockey: Andrew Ramgeet Trainer: Tina Ramgeet Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 22-345

Comment: Finished fifth, beaten a fair way over 1m here (claimer, sloppy track) last Sunday; career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-24); big chance as lower claiming tag should make this easier and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Timely Secret

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Julie Stansbury Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 4-46154

Comment: C&D has proven suitable before; this is her grade; not disgraced in fourth 48 days ago on first run for current trainer in a claimer; could be interesting if replicating the best of her form and sights are lowered reflected by lower claiming tag.

French Onion

Jockey: Luis Negron Trainer: Jose Silva Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 1/14-

Comment: Not had much racing - fourth outing here; has won two of his three career runs; not beaten too far when fourth at Turf Paradise last April in an allowance optional claimer; long absence to overcome; should be in the mix.

Rags Special

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Joseph Musarro Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 731574

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 6l, finishing fourth of nine in a claimer on debut outing for new trainer last month; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; others more appealing.

Tomorrownevercomes

Comment: Can boast winning form over this C&D; consistent lately; favourite when second in a claimer 14 days ago; up in class (in for $6.5k); plenty of appeal as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

In To The Night

Jockey: Bailey Weatherly Trainer: Donald Blankenship Age/Wt: 6/8-11 F: 3-643

Comment: Winner of seven races at this venue; fair effort when beaten 8l, finishing third of four over 5f here (allowance optional claimer) two months ago; eased in class with tag standing at $4k here; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so likely to be a threat.

Tonaltalitarian

Jockey: Luis Tapara Trainer: Juan Aguirre Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 42-3

Comment: Held in third (sloppy track) last Sunday in a claimer; can boast winning form over this C&D; one-time useful performer; claiming value now drops from $6.5k; can be on the premises as has wins in the formbook.

Hard Astray

Jockey: Yuri Yaranga Trainer: Jeff Fletcher Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 37476

Comment: Beaten 20l (sixth) last month in a claimer; not really built on success in a claimer in August at Mountaineer Park and could be at the extent of his ability; now a lower claiming tag ($4k from $5k) so down in class; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and may be vulnerable.
