BALQAA has been hammering on the door over further and she holds leading claims on her return to sprinting duty. Take A Bow looked a blatant non stayer over 1m latest and she can only benefit from dropping back in distance, while Sweet Pursuit also merits consideration.
PEARLS FOR GIRLS was a decent third over this track and trip last time and she looks the one to side with in a very winnable race. Harlans Belle takes a big drop in class and has a solid chance, while Annie Walker cannot be ruled out either.
ADRESTIA made a promising start to her racing career when runner-up over this track and trip and, with normal improvement expected, she will prove difficult to beat. Lilikoi rates the biggest threat following her narrow defeat over 1m, ahead of Congarette.
BIG EAST posted a solid runner-up effort on his first start at this level and he might be able to go one better tonight. Par was three lengths behind in sixth that day but may have improved for a subsequent gelding operation. He warrants respect as does D. S. Boyd.
DISTINCTIVE LADY lost little in defeat when half-a-length second over this track and trip last time and she will prove a tough nut to crack if reproducing that level of performance. Her main dangers could prove to be Aix En Provence and Cow Catcher.
SMILE BIG has been edging closer to the target with each start thus far and this could be her time to shine. Thundering Sky and Clair De Lune top the list of potential dangers.
SEND IT IN has been in cracking form recently, winning three of his last four starts, and he can strike against whilst the iron is hot. Jack O Liam and On Tap could be left to fight out minor honours.
This valuable prize could go the way of hat-trick seeking MOMAMEAMARIA, who has earned the step up in class with wins at both Belmont and here. Eloquent Tribute and Paulassilverlining are also fancied to run well.
TIME FOR ANGIE has been in dazzling form recently and she can complete the four-timer, possibly at the main expense of Starship Pleasant and Lotsa Noodles.
