A small but select field in which CAUSE I'M ALEX shades the verdict. He has impressively notched up a 1m course double and won't give up on the hat-trick without fighting. His main dangers look to be Petrocelli and Hunt's Road.
Hard to be too enthusiastic about the chances of any of these but POLITICAL LADY looks sure to run well. The form of her latest third looks pretty strong in the context of this race and stepping up a couple of furlongs shouldn't be a problem. Blue Claret and Going For Millions are others to keep an eye on.
COMITY is entitled to improve for her comeback second over 5f here earlier in the month and she gets the vote to fend off dropped-in-class pair Epiphany and Cinematize.
NICO'S PRIZE wouldn't be the most consistent but he is more than capable when putting his best foot forward. It might be worth chancing that he is on a going day, while All My Memories and Third Frontier are other respected players.
MY FAVORITE TWO rattled the crossbar over 5f here last time and could go one better now stepped up in trip. Westerday, third behind the selection latest, has place claims along with Appealetta.
Hannibal Lecter battled on well to score over 5f here last time, but may be vulnerable to the reopposing second from that race, SOUTHERN ROCKET, over this slightly longer trip. Broncojoenvinny is closely matched with the aforementioned pair and could also take a hand.
DR. J'S BUCK shaped with plenty of promise when third on debut and is expected to improve with the benefit of that initial run under her belt. One Sharp Cat and Roaring Vixen complete the shortlist.
GOOD HARBOUR romped home by seven lengths over 5f here earlier in the month and should remain competitive over this slightly longer trip. Grosero is a model of consistency and has place claims along with recent course third That's Alie's Baby.
D'FUNNYTHING shaped with plenty of promise on his debut at Belmont last July and takes a drop in grade here after a 10 month absence. The $10,000 purchase should prove too good for Boy Named Tish, who should improve for the drop in distance here, and Foursocksrocks. Newcomer Dan The Man is also noted.
