Lost In The Music and Fleet Willy have the form to figure if at their best, but they are not the most consistent and preference is for PAT SPEEDY. Frank Menarde's charge is a reliable customer, who won in similar company here before finishing third in tougher on his latest outing. Skip'n True makes most appeal of the remainder.
Granite Ridge keeps finding at least one too good and has a bit to find with Matriculate on their latest running. Preference is for HEARTS CRY who showed signs of a return to form when runner-up over 5 1/2f here recently and has already won twice over today's longer trip.
A pretty dire bunch with the class droppers making the most appeal. Beauty Of Holiness and Sweet Scholar are expected to do better in this lesser grade, but it could pay to take a chance with PICK UP THE TEMPO, who is open to improvement racing over a route trip for the first time here.
BERTRANDO'S RETURN bounced back to form with a vengeance when dropped in trip latest and Cliff Sise's charge will be a strong fancy to follow-up here. The lightly raced Pick Three Tommy C is open to further progress and Wayward Will is worth a look on his first start for an in-form barn.
Spun Silk's earlier form in much better company at Belmont and Saratoga will ensure her plenty of support here. However, she ran poorly on her latest outing and is untried over a route. DIAPHANOUS has a couple of starts over an extended mile on turf under her belt and, if transferring that form to the main track, can get off the mark here.
TRUALLY WILD has shown something like her best form of late and, although she could only manage fourth-place on her first start for Scott Lake, today's drop in class should see her back in the winners' enclosure. Gingerella and Winlocs Articchill can give her the most to think about.
Webers Drive In is unplaced in three starts over a route and Miss Red Fox ran abysmally on her only start over an extended mile. BAREFOOT LADY has yet to run over further than 6f, but she takes a big drop in class here, and it's worth chancing George Gross' filly will last home.
Hardmoney Road recorded his latest wide-margin victory in a much lesser grade but Dance To Remember was beaten only a head in similar last time and should go close again. However, Steve Krebs has a terrific strike-rate with his second start off a claim runners and FORGOTTEN CAT can maintain his barn's excellent record.
Plenty of these in with a chance including Kent Hall, Jessicasbestfriend and Lady Lankford who all have their first runs since September. Chasenthebluesaway produced a big figure on her latest start on a sloppy track, but preference is for OUR MISS JONES. She's in the form of her life at present, winning her last two starts in good style, and looks capable of landing a hat-trick here.
CRACKLING was doing all his best work in the closing stages when finishing runner-up over 6f last time and today's slightly longer trip will suit. Chief Negotiator had Our Runnin Buddy behind when finishing second here on his latest start and Captiva Drive could figure dropped in trip.
