remove generated table title number in front matter

We have a table in the front matter which has a title. Since there is no chapter it shows Table .1: What should the condition look like in the title in table element to select a title in table in front matter. I can remove the generated text, but need to figure out how to select the correct instance. We are using the techinfo application. In the ditamap it is techinfomap, coverpage, then two topicrefs before the toc. Any table before the toc would not get a chapter number.

Thanks
