CONSTABULARY returned to the winner's enclosure over C&D last month and is taken to notch a double while evidently in good heart. The main danger could be the eased-in-grade Unbridled Danger, with Hill Crossing another considered.
BIG BUDGET wasn't disgraced when pitched into a $50,000 starter optional claimer last time out and is expected to prove too good now eased in class for this. Of the others, Little Wyatt and A Cat That Flies are also of interest.
FLAT BOLD boasts plenty of experience at this level and can take plenty of encouragement from his effort at Philadelphia Park last time when a close-up fourth in the $75,000 Bensalem Stakes. Arch Traveler and Leave Of Absence make most appeal of the others.
WINERY looked slightly out of his depth in a $30,000 claimer when last sighted but this drop in class can bring about a return to the winning enclosure. Brownteins and Quite A Feat are others for the shortlist.
WHAT'S THE RECORD hacked up over C&D last week and should take all of the beating if returning in the same mood. Token Sacrifice has place claims if putting his best foot forward and can battle it out with D'Sauvage for the silver medal.
JETER shaped with promise over 7f here on debut, weakening close home but ultimately suggesting he'd be better for the run. The drop back in trip counts in his favour and he is taken to get the better of Ecstatic Cat and Smokin Candy to score.
HONORABLE TRUTH is holding her form well at present and wouldn't need to improve upon her recent second in a Belmont claimer to take this weaker contest now dropped in grade. Queen Of The Lake and Sunnybrook can give her most to think about.
CAUGHT BY YOU powered to a comfortable victory in a C&D maiden here earlier in the month and, despite this step up in grade, looks the most interesting runner in the race. Mob Wife and Offlee Crafty look the principal threats.
Smarty Aya is respected now eased in grade but preference is for PHANTOM F FOUR, who took a forward step over C&D latest and looks to be improving with each run. My Zealous Storm makes most appeal of the remainder.
