Nelva finished runner-up at Calder last month and a reproduction of that effort would make her a leading contender here whilst Powerful Presence can also feature. However, COMPLIMENT TREE has shown some promise in her three runs to date and she is open to some improvement so she is taken to get off the mark.
A case can be made for a few of thses but the one who makes most appeal is GRILLER who held on gamely to score over five and a half furlongs here last month. Tomball finished second here in this grade earlier this month and he is shortlisted along with Priceless View and You Have No Idea.
A few in with chances here but BLOWN ran out a comfortable winner at Charles Town on her latest start earlier this month and a repeat performance could make her a tough nut to crack tonight. A back-to-form Elmer's Gypsy Rose could take a hand but Conga Queen and Red Nickle are put forward as the main dangers to the selection.
MAGNIFICENT SKY has taken a while to get the hang of things but has really found his feet of late, registering two impressive victories at this track recently, and it could pay to stick with him for the time being. Wingo is another to come into this in winning form and he is put forward as the main danger while Corajoso could go close.
In an open affair, preference is for MONSTER BOOTS, who rarely runs a bad race and got up late to land a similar contest over a route at Monmouth last time. Unique Afleet has been well held recently but landed a $12.5k claimer here three starts ago and has every chance if recapturing that form. Tobe Suave is on a hat-trick but steps up in class.
Plenty in with chances but this should go the way of REFLECT TIMES, who has yet to hit top form since a summer break. He's dropped in class tonight, however, and can regain winning ways. Extinguish has been knocking on the door in this grade and looks the danger while Coco Point and Badagain could go close.
