Powhatan Princess is expected to improve now eased in grade but of more interest is COUNTRY CHIC, who was outpaced when fourth over the extended 5f here last time and should relish this extra yardage. Emotional Lady is also high on the shortlist.
For All Who Conga is more than capable of making his presence felt at this level but marginal preference is instead for AZICHARMYOU, who impressed when scoring over track and trip latest. Helping Hand and Run With Me complete the shortlist.
STEPHANIE'S FOREST helps set the form standard based on his last-time-out C&D fourth and, with further improvement likely to be forthcoming, he is taken to get the better of Albert's Tiger and Point Of Defence to land the spoils.
PRAYINFORARICHGIRL wasn't disgraced when stepped up into claiming company latest and he should prove too good for Outwitted and Interrogate Me on a repeat.
RED HOT RANDY left a moderate Philadelphia debut behind when a close-up third at Monmouth Park last time, and he's open to more improvement on just his third career start. Ball One and Papa Doc are others to take seriously.
SHUFFIE J BEAR landed a 5 1/2f contest at Delaware last time out by a neck and this doesn't look any tougher, so a repeat performance should suffice. Cursing Cathy and She's Ordained were tough to separate when second and third respectively in a similar C&D event latest and look the biggest threats.
Pico Pico arrives on a C&D double after impressing last time out but he may have his work cut out against NAMATH this evening. The Stephanie Beattie-trained gelding struggled in a hot 7f event latest but previously recorded a 1m hat-trick in better company than this and he will relish the return to this trip. Satellite Beach rates best of the remainder.
