BET THE POWER sets a useful standard on his latest C&D victory and will be difficult to stop if reproducing that form here. Dr. Wesley was thwarted in his hat-trick victory last time but is respected regardless, with the rejuvenated Tyrus completing the shortlist.
Princess Mara ran better eased in grade last time and will be difficult to beat if reproducing that effort here. Malibu Queen might have gone slightly under after her latest success and needs respect, while Lily Lynn is worthy of a mention as well.
The unexposed TEEN PAULINE took another step forward last time and the four-year-old is taken to improve past her rivals here. The consistent Centring rates the biggest danger, while Royal Lahaina shouldn't be far away either.
PLEASE NO EMAILS takes a notable drop in class for this maiden and is worth another look with improvement anticipated. Others to note include Race And Shine and Red Constitution.
MR PALMER finished a good second in a more valuable allowance optional claimer last time out and a repeat of that performance should get the job done here. Midnight Taboo and Rush Now are also noted.
BLUE BALLERINA is yet to grace the winning enclosure in four starts for new trainer Enrique Arroyo, but her latest course performance represented a step in the right direction and a bold performance looks assured here. Pegasus Blue and Colorme Kitten make most appeal of the remainder.
GO GET THE BASIL sets the clear standard coming into this in a rich vein of form and he is taken to prove too strong for Giant Finish and Street Lord.
DELIGHTFUL QUALITY finished a close runner-up in a $100,000 stakes race (Baby J behind) last time out and that form should be good enough to land the spoils. Five Star Momma completes the shortlist.
HORATIO arrives with experience on his side and his latest course second was a promising one. He can go one place better if that effort can be built upon, while Handy Stan and Between The Lines are also respected.
