LITE UP THE MORNIN was a good third over track and trip in a slightly tougher contest last month. Dropped in class, and with further improvement expected after just three starts, she's taken to go one better tonight. Only One For Me was a distant fourth in the selection's race but should lead the rest home tonight, although Moral High Ground takes a big drop in class and could go close.
This should go the way of STAROFTHESHOW, an impressive winner in this grade two starts ago, and third in better company last time. Down in class tonight, she should prove too good. American Appeal has been knocking on the door in similar contests and looks the one for the exacta while Feliciti Dancer and Kemah can fight out the minor money.
Oil Man and This Bulls Back both won in this grade last time out and should be thereabouts again but preference is for BOXER SHORTS. His recent win over a mile here came in slightly lesser company but he was a close second before that in a much better race and should have the measure of tonight's rivals.
After winning a $10k maiden claimer here and scoring in a $10k claimer over C&D, there seems no reason why POMMETTE cannot complete the hat-trick, especially as she takes a drop in class tonight. The rest look to be playing for places, with the minor honours likely to be fought out by Yes Anastasia, Lauren M C, Owin Sylvia and Basketball Bella.
Plenty in with chances but preference is for the hat-trick-seeking LADY OF TRUTH. After a comfortable success in a $15k claimer over a mile here, she landed a $40k allowance race over 6f and should prove too good tonight, dropped to this class. Wild Gotaway is running well and could be the one for the exacta, providing her stamina holds out, while Sister Sharon and Lightnin Lizzie shouldn't be too far away.
Awesome Son and Braulio were second and third in this grade last time and have claims here, along with Holy Dreamer, just pipped in a slightly weaker contest latest. Preference, however, is for TOO WILD FOR WORDS, who has been running consistently well in better races and can get his head in front tonight, dropped in class.
BUBBER looks the answer to this. Beaten just over two lengths in a $200k stakes race here in the summer, he's performed with credit since in better races than this and can get his head in front tonight, dropped in class. Man Of Danger recently completed a treble at this level and looks the one for the exacta while Rexdale Warrior cannot be ruled out.
This might not take too much winning and it might provide the opportunity for WELL CALL ME to break his duck at the 15th time of asking. He's been knocking on the door of late and should be let in tonight. Among Friends trailed in a long way behind the selection last time out but could lead the rest home tonight while Fairfax Lion has claims on the pick of his form.
