JERSEY BOUNCE had High Cupper (third) behind when runner-up over C&D last time out and this looks like a perfect opportunity to regain the winning thread. Easter Pride cannot be ruled out either.

THE DRAKE ran his best race for some time when runner-up over C&D last time out and he is taken to go one better here. That may be at the main expense of Kosciuszko and Thirtysilverpieces.
A winner at 6f. Finished behind Rose Knows when sixth of eight at 11-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f (good) earlier this month. Faces a stiff assignment.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY has been in excellent form of late and a second win in four starts could be in the offing for the daughter of Alternation. Others to consider include old rivals Half Legend and Poolside Cocktails.
She has won three times from 5f to 1m. Finished 9l behind Box Step when fourth of 6 at 7-10fav on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f earlier this month. She needs more if she is to trouble the main protagonist in today's race.

Has won ten races from 5f to 1m. Third of 7 behind Amadevil beaten 9l at 35-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f earlier this month. She was highly tried last time, but the mare looks the one to beat in today's calmer waters.

Has won 11 races from 6f to 1m. Finished 3l behind Swindle when fourth of 8 at 18-5 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f earlier this month. Although she receives weight today, she still needs to show more before considering.

Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 3/4l by Twerk when second of 6 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f earlier this month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert Gorham. She has ground to make up on that rival, but is now 5lb better off, so the filly looks a key contender.

A Smile A Day looks to hold a strong chance at the weights in reversing the form with Twerk on their meeting 17 days ago, but they could both struggle to beat ROLLIN ALL THE WAY now that the six-year-old is dropped in class.
He has won three times from 6f to 1m, but last win was over three years ago. Finished 12l behind Relish The Ride when fifth of 6 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m earlier this month. His form isn't good enough and he is passed over for today.

Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Beaten 8l by Silence when second of 7 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. He's been running well in the main and the gelding looks a key contender once more.

Has won nine races from 5f to 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Finished behind Big Truck when fourth of 5 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Belterra Park over 6f last month. The seven-year-old hasn't troubled the judge of late and he is best watched until showing more.

It's a tough decision between Exprimir and IT'S YOUR CALL, but the latter ran a career-best when last seen in this class, so the son of Encaustic gets the verdict. Candy Exchange rates best of the rest.
Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Third of 9 behind Ol' L B beaten 7l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 5f earlier this month. He's 2lb better off with Mas Chikilin for a head, so he looks to be a key player in today's heat.

Has won ten races from 5f to 7f. Finished 7l behind Ol' L B when fourth of 9 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 5f earlier this month. He needs to reverse form with Mas Chikilin and Biscuits And Grits if he is to figure in today's race.

Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 1 1/2l by Itasca when second of 7 at 16-5 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. That was a career-best performance, despite defeat, and the drop back in distance shouldn't inconvenience.

Winner of seven races from 4f to 6f. Beaten 6l by Ol' L B when second of 9 at 2-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 5f earlier this month. That was a bit disappointing after a good win in August, but she's still a leading contender in today's contest.

Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Well beaten at 60-1 behind I Wanna Win when last of 10 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m 2f last month. He should fare better dropped in class today, but the six-year-old still needs to show more before warranting consideration.

At the revised weights, Biscuits And Grits has a good chance of reversing the form with Mas Chikilin, but COUNTRY CLUB BOBBY looks a progressive three-year-old after a career-best performance here last month and he gets the verdict.
Successful at 5f and 6f. A winner at 11-5 at Thistledown over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Shack The Life by 4l. Impressive that day and no reason why he cannot get in to the mix once again now.

Cry Macho was impressive when running away with a lesser event and he deserves a step up in class. He can go close, but if RELEASED is in the same form as his recent second place then he could take all the beating. Speighty War was impressive at the end of July here and is another who makes the shortlist.
Placed once in eight starts. Finished behind Cry Macho when fifth of 7 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 6f earlier this month. Better than that but he needs to bounce back to have a say.

Unplaced in all 33 starts. Finished behind Farmhand when fifth of 6 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 6f in July. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mateo Morelos, but he clearly has a few pounds to find.

Yet to place in 14 starts. Beaten 17l behind Shirley's Sherman at 50-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 6f in July. Much more needed to have any say in the finish.

Placed in three of 12 starts. Finished 13l behind Joe Brrrr when fourth of 5 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m earlier this month. Drops in class and he may do a lot better for it.

DIAMOND MONEY is a tentative suggestion here, but if the Brethren gelding can repeat his August third in a far better race, he may yet prove too good for all of these. Aceskingsanqueens and Angel's Souperstar both have bits of form that would give them a say.
