YABBAY was second over track and trip last time and wouldn't need to improve much on that level of form to score. Ide Be Silly and Luv It Up can scrap it out for the silver medal.
Alexis Rules is entitled to improve for this drop in grade but of more interest is GOBLET OF FIRE, who is entitled to come on for her debut fourth at Remington Park in November. Anythingyoucando looks best of the rest.
AVALANCHE GIRL struggled when stepped up in grade at Aqueduct last time but this looks more her level and she rates a confident pick. Chiding is feared most, though a big run from Carocuore is also anticipated.
To Your Health is worth a market check now eased in grade but of more interest is RED ZONE, who was thwarted by just a nose when last sighted over a route here in November. Paternal Pride, having his first start since being gelded, is also worth a second look in the betting.
SELF STARTER stayed on well to score over 6f here last month and could continue his improvement now granted this stiffer test. Include Indycat and Jax Be Quick are the pair expected to put up most resistance.
BIG MAN IN BLACK has been knocking hard on the door and wouldn't be winning out of turn if building on his Arlington third last time to score. Matuszak and Wise Crossing are the pair that could give the selection most to think about.
TSUNAMI GIRL battled on well to score over track and trip last time and is taken to follow up to land a quick double. Royal Obsession and Lemon Drop Belle are others shortlisted.
GRAND ISLE is worth a market check now eased in grade and shades the vote ahead of Know You Now, who drops in grade, and recent course third Let Us Be Glad.
CONTROL STAKE is a proven performer at stakes level and he won well in that grade last time out. Clearly Now chased the selection home when they last met and can do so again, while Too Dim also has solid claims.
After running well of late it is interesting to see SENIOR RAPIDOR down at this basement level and he may well prove very hard to beat. Zarby's Derby Day could be the biggest threat, along with Rookie Doo.
