LEGAL RING was a cosy 7f winner here last time and, with enough speed to handle this drop in trip, she gets the vote to follow up. Riverwalk Weekend and Tamars Girl are also expected to go well.
TIMBIA WOODS ran second in a similar track and trip event latest and a repeat performance may suffice. Angel Buzz was three-parts-of-a-length back in third that day and she should give another good account, while the dropped-in-class E Lizzy cannot be ruled out either.
A tricky heat where I'MTRULYINTHEMOOD gets the tentative vote. He lost little in defeat when a neck third over 6 1/2f here last time and will be in the shake-up again if running up to that level of form. Coalition and One For Don are other respected players.
JIMMY SOUL has been unable to justify favouritism since opening his account at Aqueduct but has run well in defeat nonetheless and deserves another chance. Stormy Dan failed to fire when chasing home that rival on his latest start but shouldn't be written off, while recent maiden scorer Bennie Luke deserves a market check.
RETIRE FIFTY FIVE was narrowly denied by a future scorer on his local debut and just shades the vote over Cosmo Blue who rattled the crossbar at Keeneland. Jeremy's Song plugged on over a sharper trip at Laurel and might be coming into himself after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Burn Permit has to feature near the top the shortlist after denying a future winner runner-up spot on her local debut. It might be worth trying SENORITA SIETE, though, as she drops back to six furlongs for the first time since winning her maiden and didn't appear to stay a sterner test last time. Recent maiden winner Bellsforsamantha deserves a market check too.
CALL WIL never looked at home over 6f at Aqueduct last month but he is worth another chance stepping back up to his optimum trip. Hold The Wire is greatly respected, while It's Charlie Again is considered for each-way purposes.
RAPID ROUGE continued his terrific run of form at this track when seeing off his rivals is determined fashion. He is the one to beat again, though Brannaman and Risk Management are afforded maximum respect.
TWILL BE has been holding his form well of late and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to gain a deserved victory. Son Of Posse is better than he showed last time and heads the dangers, while Tannenbaum completes the shortlist.
