PARTING ANSWER created a favourable impression when second over 6f on his debut here, and the way he came from well off the pace to be beaten less than a length at the line suggests this step up in trip will suit. Clifton Pleasure ran well over track and trip on his debut and is respected, as is dirt debutant Greeley's Farewell.
Chris Englehart's duo of Marsh Dawg and Buckeye Heart both merit respect on current form, although Too Tough Pete beat the former over track and trip last month. Preference is for FRENCHONIONSOUP, though, who has wired his opponents the last twice and could repeat the dose here.
ALEXIS ROAD breezed past Always Dear when a fast-finishing second over slightly shorter last time and a similar effort over this trip could see her in the winner's circle. Noon Time Shower drops slightly in grade after a good third last time and merits plenty of respect.
Marianne Manning is not the most prolific trainer at this meeting, but HALF LUCKY kept up the gallop well to score last time and gets another chance in a similar contest. Journey To Nowhere is consistent and can get involved, but he was behind Straight THunder last time, and Edward Perdue's gelding could be a bigger threat.
MUY MAN battled hard to score over slightly shorter last time and as he was hardly stopping at the line there, he is taken to follow up. Rkatsiteli finished a neck ahead of Mr. Style when the pair met here last month and with a far more favourable draw, he can confirm those placings.
WISEMAN JACK was an impressive winner over 6f here last month and he could follow up with a repeat performance. His main dangers look to be Knockout and Radical Storm, who also arrive on the back of solid efforts.
BOLDCHILDSREVENGE built on a solid runner-up finish two starts ago when scoring comfortably over track and trip latest and, with that confidence booster under her belt, she might be able to repeat the dose. Holly Go and Graceful Meghan are also expected to go well.
MISSILE NICK benefitted from the drop back to 6f when scoring impressively around here last time and he will take some stopping if arriving in the same mood. G W's Hammer holds Nail It and Carson City Cash on their recent meeting, while Bubba's Choice has place credentials.
MISS MINTO showed plenty of speed when scoring over 6f here latest, so this drop back in trip shouldn't pose any problems and third career win is predicted. Reading Glasses has been running consistently well and should be in the mix again, while House Of Leaves can't be ignored following her nose second here.
