SHE KANT MISS has not been disgraced in better races recently so could prove a cut above her rivals now down in grade. Hurricane Raven was behind Stacey's Pumpkin last time but could get her revenge if allowed to dictate matters.
Happy has been gelded since running some fair races at Oaklawn in the spring and could improve, but UNBLUNTED was not out of place in far more valuable contests at Laurel when last seen and could take some stopping. Willow Bob is another to note.
HARLINGTON ROMANCE was hugely impressive when blitzing the field here last time and though this is a slightly tougher contest, she could be one to keep onside while in this form. Starshiner won a lowly race by miles so is worth a try in this, while Lady Paradime drops in class.
GERMAINE'S ROSE is a model of consistency, with five placed efforts from seven starts, and she could get the reward those performances deserve here. Sweet Plebe was not far behind the selection last time and is a danger, along with Um Melakeh.
Howboutthemcowboys and Proudmiamicitizen both merit respect for trainer Jamie Ness, but MAJESTIC DOCTOR was a fair third on debut and if he builds on that promising effort, he could be the one to beat.
Mason County comes into this in search of a hat-trick and has to be respected, while Holy Soldier won nicely at Laurel last time and is likely to be in the mix again. Preference is for FLASH MCCAUL, though, as he followed up an allowance win at Laurel with a couple of solid efforts in stakes company there.
The step up in trip and running first time as a gelding may be enough to give BIG TIMER the edge here, as he ran on well for third over shorter last time. Jump Ship was a good third latest and is respected, along with former Irish runner Hoppala.
The drop in class may help Piracy, but she has to prove she stays this far and SOIGNE, who is already proven over a route, could be the stronger finisher here. Mademoiselle Coco has been running well in lower grades of late and is another to note.
RB NASH has been hugely impressive in two starts to date and can maintain his unbeaten record at the expense of Rb Rich and Fearsome.
