The hat-trick seeking BOUDOIR has been in cracking form of late and, after dotting up around here last time out, she looks like the one that they all have to beat today. Mary Cat finished second at Kentucky on her latest outing and rates the biggest threat, while Polysheba is another worthy of consideration.
It could pay to take a chance here on Chris Richard's newcomer, THUNDER'S BROTHER. He performed with a lot of credit in a recent workout and will be expected to make a big impression on his racecourse debut today. Toughluck has shown glimpses of promise in his three starts to date and should go close here, while Steal And Charge looks next best.
NO IMAGE has less on her plate than when finishing second around here last time out and could prove a cut above her rivals today. Gilded Heart didn't run up to standard on her latest outing but it would be no surprise to see her involved in the shake-up here. Hangonjohnnie may prove best of the remainder.
ARC LIGHT was far from disgraced when finishing fifth in better company at Arlington last time out and, with this drop in trip and class sure to benefit, he is given the vote to lose his maiden tag today. Flightwithoutwings finished second here on his latest outing and is likely to have his say in this, with Molander also holding place claims.
HAPPINESS performed with a great deal of credit when finishing a close third around here last time out and looks sure to play a leading role in this contest. Gravano finished behind the selection on his latest outing and may have to settle for minor honours again, while Brigham is another that cannot be easily dismissed.
QUILL PLAY stayed on strongly when finishing second around here last time out and could prove extremely hard to beat now stepped up in trip. Denouncer's Gal finished second here on her latest outing and should give a good display in this, while Spanish Surprise is another that warrants respect.
BROTHERS NICHOLAS faces an easier task than when finishing sixth around here last time out and, with this step up in trip likely to suit, he should prove a leading player today. Bachicho finished third here on his latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts at the finish again today. Kriss Me Once is another for the short-list.
SHEZASTORMIN appears to be going to strength to strength at present and, after winning comfortably around here last time out, she could take all the beating on her bid to land the hat trick today. Tacaro's Star didn't appear to get home when finishing third at Arlington on her latest outing but should go close now dropped in trip, while Rite Moment is another in with a squeak.
ISLESEEYOUSOON produced a creditable performance when finishing fourth against stiffer opposition around here last time out could prove difficult to beat now dropped in class. Smilin' Del stayed on strongly when finishing third here on his latest outing and should give a good account over this extended trip, while Jet A is another with claims.
