AWESOME WINTER has been contesting better maidens than this and can open her account now dropped in grade for this assignment. Sachopia and Mucubaji are also noted.
WILLIE'S MOJO has done enough in three starts to suggest a maiden of this nature is well within his compass and can score at the expense of Bustin To Get Home and No Tanx Blue Chip.
MISCHIEVOUS SOPHIE ran a close second in a $16,000 claimer when last sighted and that form reads well in the context of this $10,000 event. Starship Pleasantand Colonel Juanita are also respected.
SUPER PSYCHE has been banging hard on the door in slightly better maidens than this of late and very much deserves to get his head in front. Wine Not and Daves Gone Bananas complete the shortlist.
LUCKY LURIE had the reopposing Spooked Out (third) behind when finishing second in a similar race here last month and was conceding experience to the Todd Pletcher-trained runner. Unstoppable is another to consider.
FERZETTI had many of these behind her when she was second over C&D last month. A repeat of that effort would see her home in front today, with Make Your Point and Pearls For Girls being the next best.
BIG PAUL was dropped into too high a grade last time, especially as it was his first start outside of maiden company, but he would be dangerous to discount at this more realistic level. Giggy Smooth was very impressive when breaking his maiden tag in October and a gelding operation may bring about some progression, while Guyana Cat is also noted.
Taken By Surprise won a similar contest here last month and another good showing looks to be on the cards. That said, B THREE was only beaten a length in a $100,000 stakes event at Christmas and she is open to more progression as this is just her fourth career start. Storm Cell can complete the placings.
This is a weak contest and it is very hard to oppose BIG EAST, who has been the runner-up on his last two starts. Those efforts came in stronger races than this and he represents a yard going very well at the moment. D. S. Boyd and Only The Truth can fight it out for the places.
