SILVER MISSION represents the brilliant Todd Pletcher and looks a likely type on his breeding to progress with each race. This looks like a winnable opening and he can get the better of Fuhrlong and Lethal Shot.
The unexposed WHERES WILLY takes a big drop in class and has been unlucky in-running so far. He has looked green but should appreciate racing against this kind of company, while Habits and Joywave represent Rudy Rodriguez and both appear to be likely types having cost large sums at the sales.
SWEET PEACHES got back in the winners' enclosure here last time and a repeat of that performance gives her strong claims to double up. Wild Street Girl is another last time out winner with a decent chance, while Lucky Boots ran well over further last time and should benefit from the drop in distance.
VOTRE COEUR seemed to improve for the step up in distance on only her second start and could have more progression to come compared with her main rivals. Ginned Up and newcomer Talkn Til Midnight look the main threats, the latter's trainer Linda Rice currently having a 33% strike rate.
NATALIE VICTORIA unsurprisingly found a $80,000 contest too competitive for her last time out but prior to that she put together back-to-back five length wins in a similar grade to this. Just Got Out looks to be the main danger, while Bonita Luna is an each-way alternative.
A chance can be given to SPA TOWN PARADE, who was well beaten last time when upped in grade but on her penultimate start the daughter of Leading The Parade had a few of these behind her when she was second over C&D. Is She Hot and Reign can fight it out for the places.
MADDIZASKAR lost little in defeat when half-a-length second at Tampa last month and, entitled to improve for that first outing since August, she gets the vote to go one better this evening. Jademarie is taking a significant drop in class and warrants respect, while Weekend Score cannot be ruled out either.
CANDY COUNTER left her debut performance well behind when winning comfortably over the extended 1m here and, with further improvement on the cards, she will be well fancied to follow up. Always Sarah's two efforts this year have been full of promise and she should give another good account, while Super Sharp also merits consideration.
MARCH TOO has been knocking on the door recently and he gets the tentative vote in a tricky heat. Castaway takes a slight drop in class and should make his presence felt, while Ground Control and In The Beat are others to keep an eye on.
