SILLY PEACH has finished runner-up in similar company the last twice and connections have found their filly a glorious opportunity against these rivals. She can score at the expense of Golden Bucket and Lady Mickelson.
RING IT UP is two wins from four starts for his new stable and deserves his place in this field given the manner of his dominant display here last time. Pin Number and Graeme Crackerjack can also have their say.
MR. DISCREET has been contesting more valuable maidens than this in recent times and he can break his duck now his sights have been lowered. Irish Jones and This Might Be are also noted.
REIGN SUZANNE is more than capable at this level on a going day and she's entitled to have improved for her first run for new trainer Scott Lake. Periwinkle and Wild Oration are also given a chance.
FINISHING A DREAM fetched $37,000 as a yearling and ran a highly encouraging second on his racecourse debut here last month. He made up considerable ground inside the final furlong that day and should thrive going up in trip. Mettler and Refer complete the shortlist.
HERE'S TO MIKE understandably grew tired when setting off with plenty of gusto on his first outing in 66 days and can strip fitter for that run now pitched into a less valuable claiming race here. Big Tomatoes rattled the crossbar over the Christmas period despite his saddle slipping and Play Bull deserves a market check.
SAINT VIGEUR performed admirably in testing conditions when trailing a future winner in fourth at Aqueduct and can give a bold account on his local debut. Midnight Taboo stayed on strongly to score on his latest outing over this trip so his stamina looks assured, whereas Monkey's Medal needs to step up on his previous effort over this trip but shaped encouragingly over a sharper trip latest.
COUSIN STEPHEN rates the one to beat on the back of his runaway success over a mile at this venue last month and he is tough to oppose. Spa City Fever and Crushing can chase the selection home.
BACHMAN BILLY set a scorching pace over 7f here last time before weakening in the closing stages. The drop back to sprinting looks the right move and he could be tough to peg back. Lataam and Al's Best are the pick of the remainder.
