FILL UP COHEN was putting in her best work in the closing stages when staying on for third over the extended 5f latest and is taken to land the spoils now returned to this longer trip. Gagne had Fast Shadow behind when scoring over 5f latest and can confirm placings with that rival to land the silver medal here.
Small Secret is a potential improver now stepped up to this longer trip but of more interest is the eased-in-grade LEX'S SWEET GIRL, who could also improve with the benefit of a debut run now behind her. Newcomer Shirts And Shoes completes the shortlist.
Rihanna was staying on well in the closing stages over 6f here last time and is entitled to be thereabouts but preference is for IN THE ROUGH, who was outclassed in a stakes race at Monmouth last time but is considered a major player now operating at this lower level. War Prospector, third behind the selection at Laurel in October, merits a market check now returning from a break.
Proverbial is respected now her sights have been lowered but of more interest is DELONIX, who found her stamina stretched over 1m here last time but will be much more at home now returned to sprinting. Sweet Valor looks the pick of the remainder.
PIQUANT appears to have been found a great opportunity to open his account. He emerged with plenty of credit when runner-up in a richer prize over 1m here last month and may well improve for that first start since January. Unbroken and R Street Cat are others to consider.
ISCANDAR made a favourable impression when landing the spoils on his racetrack debut over 1m here last month and, with improvement expected, he could complete the double. Sorry No Refunds and Birds On Venus are most feared.
A few look to have chances here so DERBYDAYGIRL receives what is only a tentative vote. She has been knocking on the door over 6f recently and looks certain to be heavily involved once again. Halo Hollie and Oasis The Jak are others worthy of consideration.
Appealing Cat is progressive and she merits respect along with True Feelings. However, WELCOME DANCE is a very capable performer and she is fancied to put these opponents to the sword if bouncing back from her below par effort last time.
THISTLE DEU has been knocking on the door of late and she looks sure to be on the premises once more. She gets the verdict over Md Sugar And Spice but Explosive Heat MHF is also worth a second glance.
The Powell trained duo, Chiquita Rose and Annies Got Agun, can make a bold fist of it between them but AF ANIA gets the call. She is unexposed and she might be able to improve beyond this lot.
