Almira Fawn has filled the runner-up spot on her last two starts and may have to play second fiddle again, this time to MOOSE VASKO. The selection recorded the highest last speed figure when second (one length ahead of Jamestown) and a repeat performance can see him go one better.
VENUS BAY finished well clear of third when a close second over this C&D earlier this month and she looks the safest bet in an open contest. The hat-trick seeking Hold That Echo is an obvious threat this represents a step up in class, while fellow last-time-out winner Playing For Fun is another to consider.
ARMED CONFLICT made a debut full of promise when a fast-finishing third over this C&D and he can put that experience to good use this evening. Subtle Authority also showed ability first time out and can fight it out with Oenomaus for the silver medal.
Mattangel has been knocking on the door and should be in the shake-up again, but he has had plenty of chances now and it could pay to take him on with KILLIN ME SMALLS. The selection improved on his debut effort when fourth over 5f here latest and there should be more to come as he steps up in trip tonight. Market support for any of the newcomers should be noted, especially Port Severn.
HYMN NOTE was narrowly denied at Fort Erie last time and a reproduction of that effort might make her the one to beat here. Bacchanal Girl and Starship Sata can chase here home.
MATTER OF TRUTH will find this a little less demanding than the race he contested here last month and he can get the better of Bathsheba Station. Pure Blue could also take a hand.
Bear's Kitty Kitty is unexposed and she should give another good account along with White Road. However, the one to beat could be LEMON SPLASH. She is a reliable sort at this level.
NIPISSING sets the standard for the others to aim at and she is likely to take plenty of beating here. Seeking Toussaud is the most likely danger and Dancing Bay could also go well.
ALYTHIELA is improving for each visit to the racecourse and can go from strength to strength in beating Joharmony and Eagle Hall in this optional allowance claimer.
Not far away in a better maiden here in September, RAVENIST makes most appeal and can score at the expense of Tourist Resort and Believe You Me.
