STRONG SHAFT was thwarted by a nose over 1m here last time out and is expected to mount another bold bid. My Man Dan and Corporate Measure are others worthy of shortlist inclusion.
LAKE CREEK went close over C&D last time and rates the one to beat on the back of that performance. Behr In The Woods and Moonlit Park look the pick of the remainder.
OSCEOLA POND could improve on his latest effort at Monmouth now dropped in grade and is the tentative selection ahead of Open Petition and Spider John.
CRYSTALS GOTAGUN beat the reopposing Bustin Gold (third) when second here last time and based upon that evidence she can open her account at the main expense of Angela's Candy.
Following some fine performances in defeat of late, HONOR N GRACE is taken to get the better of Azia Brown and Shining America.
WAINSCOTT has been working very well ahead of his racecourse debut and connections had to part with $80,000 to secure him as a yearling. Speightful Song, a $300,000 purchase, and Otherwise are also noted.
ELUSIVE JONI brings the best recent form to the table following back-to-back second-place finishes last month. Justoneofakind looks to be the main danger, ahead of Candy Portena.
This could come down to a battle between Kittery and SOUTHERN GIRL, with the preference going to the latter because she is unexposed and her form is marginally stronger. Of the remainder, Bermuda Longtail looks to be the pick.
It would be no surprise to see CHIQUETO ROMERO go well on debut in a race that will not take much winning. Opio and Romero can fight it out for the places.
