Verdict
ONE SMOKIN' RITA won impressively the last time out and looks the one to beat returning to C&D. Absolute Miracle finished second in that same contest and Hartful Hope won well at Mahoning Valley.

JIMMY VEGA and PISTA RESISTANCE made encouraging debuts and with natural improvement should be competitive. PLATINUM SHAY and LIFE'S TREASURES have the form and experience to play leading roles too. SEACHTU REALTA has shown enough to earn a cheque and could get into the picture. Watch the betting on newcomer CRIMSON RANGER.

Verdict
This Maiden Special Weight over 3/4 Mile features a field of thirteen competing for a $3,764 purse. DOMILIAN stands out as the one to beat after a clinical second-place finish last time out. GORRION KEY is the main danger, having shown consistency in previous efforts for trainer Labanca. TIEMPO MAGICO adds intrigue as a debutant from a capable yard, while AVE DE PASO looks to improve on his recent form. RICHARLISON could provide some value as a longshot if he can build on his mid-pack finish.
Top Tip:
Domilian
