SANSON PEAK is taken to land the opener. There was plenty to like about her fourth over 6 1/2f here last time and stepping back up in trip this evening can only help. Hollopenny and La Guapa are others worthy of consideration.
UNBRIDLED DISPUTE produced an impressive turn of foot to score over this trip at Penn National last time and could take some stopping if in the same mood tonight. Cat Loves This has been knocking on the door recently and seems sure to go close once again, while Raybern's Gold certainly isn't out of it either.
WICKED MIZZ made a promising start to her racing career when third over this trip at Saratoga in August and, with improvement expected, she looks the one to beat. Lawless Miss and Rumack are most feared.
This should go to the in-form FLOR DE AMELIA. She came agonizingly close to completing a quickfire course double over 6f last time and will prove difficult to beat tonight if seeing out the longer trip. Leave It Up To Me and She's So Evil look to be her biggest dangers.
RANGITOTO left his debut performance well behind when runner-up over track and trip latest and, with further improvement on the cards, he could make it third time lucky. Distinct Honor was only half-a-length behind the selection last time and should give another good account, while Melissas Good Boy has place claims.
GOOD'S SECRET made up for her disqualification (won but later placed second) two starts ago when scoring readily over 5 1/2f here last time and, with this longer trip not a concern, she gets the vote to follow up. Buccella and Wicked Alliegator are others to consider.
South Fleet has claims if coming back to form but he was bitterly disappointing last time and the more solid option looks to be ONE NICE RAE, a winner two starts ago and dropped in grade tonight. Holy Bear rates best of the rest.
All seven can be given some sort of chance but TWO BRASH clocked a decent speed figure when a good second here last time and that piece of form earns him the vote. Il Divo comes into this in splendid form and another big run is expected from him with similar comments also applicable to Indianski and African Knight.
ENCHANTE ran really well to finish a close up fourth in a better race at Aqueduct last month and rates the one to beat dropped in class. Unicorn Girl had Super Slash and Officer Big Red behind when winning last time and can confirm that form tonight.
Sweat Shop has the ability to win one of these but SENOR LOUIE makes more appeal. The 4-y-o was a good second in this grade last time and a repeat performance might well be enough tonight. One French Kiss completes the shortlist.
