The eased-in-grade duo of San Xavier and CONFLICTEDINTEREST make most appeal in a race lacking strength in depth, with the last-named narrowly preferred given his lightly-raced profile. Mane Meal can chase them home.
Imperious C&D scorer Sophie's Secret would be no certainty to follow up given her overall profile, so the suggestion is SUNSHINE SANDRA, who has acquitted herself well in stronger company of late and sets the standard at this level. Francesca's Fancy makes each-way appeal.
SANIBEL SID was unable to follow up his victory here when last sighted but deserves another try now dropped to this class. Centrifical Force has been well supported in recent efforts and could be showing more at home, while Junebugred may do better at this level.
DIRECTED VERDICT was caught wide when staying on into runner-up spot last month and looks unexposed on her fifth start. Nice N' Sweet was second last time and looks a danger, while To Commercial could still have more to offer.
GLADIATORS SHOT had Twill Be back in third when landing the silver medal over track and trip latest and wouldn't need to improve much on that level of form in order to land the spoils. Executive Session appears to be improving with each run and also merits shortlist inclusion.
Henin has place claims on the back of her Penn third but marginal preference is for HOLIDAY DRAMA, who scored with plenty in hand at Delaware last month and warrants the utmost respect in her present mood. This Is Nice looks best of the rest.
ALEX EL GUAPO scored with plenty in hand over track and trip earlier in the month and is taken to follow up for a quick double. Last-time-out Monmouth scorer Rakete can battle it out with One Fast Sarava for the minor honours.
BAMA BOUND weakened in the closing stages over 1m here last time out so improvement could be on the cards now he's dropping back to this shorter distance. The pick of the remainder may be Fly Bye Pomeroy and Silver Legend.
Gourmet Dinner is worth a market check now eased in grade but a safer option looks to be MILLENNIUM LAKES, who returned to winning ways on his seasonal return over 1m and is expected to benefit from this slight drop in trip, having been out on his feet late on last time. Alicantino is another with place possibilities.
