Champagneforpeace has claims on the pick of her efforts but LOTTIE'S WISDOM gets the verdict now returned to a more suitable trip, as she was badly outpaced over the extended 5f latest. Mz. Oceanaire makes most appeal of the the remainder.
SHOWERSOFBLESSINGS went down by a nose over this trip at Arlington Park last time and wouldn't need to improve much on that level of form in order to land the spoils. Deputy Wild Kate has been consistent at a lower level and has place claims along with the dropped-in-trip Tyne Bridge.
COUNTRY FLAVOR has held his form well since scoring over a similar trip at Arlington Park in August and rates as the most likely winner if building on his recent placed efforts at that same venue. Fun On The Bayou and Table Games can battle it out for the minor honours.
SWEET AFLEET won well on her last start at Arlington and a similar performance here would make her tough to stop. Runaway Abaco trailed a future winner when fourth last time and looks a player, while Mischief N Mayhem is worth a market check on her return.
This is a tight affair with none of the septet ruled out, but marginal preference is for DUKE OF DEL REY who wasn't beaten far into sixth over slightly shorter last time and he can improve on that back up in trip. Awol Adam and Flathead River are nominated as the main dangers.
BE NICE COACH has finished runner-up all three starts to date and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to break his maiden. Soprano's Sonata wasn't beaten far by the selection on his debut and he can chase him home again while Bordini looks a solid each-way player.
WITH A TWIST stayed on strongly to produce a fifth career win over 1m at Arlington last time and, with this extra yardage likely to help, she is fancied to hit the target again. Sugar Street wasn't beaten far in a more valuable prize latest and she warrants respect, while Awalkinthemoonlite cannot be ruled out either.
SCARLETRIDGERUNNER was an impressive seven-length winner over this trip at Fairmount last time and, although taking a significant step up in class tonight, she could take some stopping if arriving in the same mood. Canette and Anna's Alibi are other in-form players with rock-solid claims.
AFFIRMED ONCE MORE had Runaway Hayq (third), Show'em Pop (fourth) and Thank You For Me (fifth) behind when a half-length second over 1m at Arlington last time and he can confirm placings with those rivals en route to landing a first career win. The dropped-in-class Juan Tabo also merits consideration.
