THRUSTER showed plenty of natural ability when fourth on debut at Belmont in October and natural improvement would make him tough to stop now under Joel Rosario. Officiating finished second in a good race last time for Bill Mott, while Weyburn and Kentucky Knight are others worth noting.

AMERS wasn't quite at her best when fourth at Finger Lakes in October, although this doesn't look quite as competitive and the step up to 6f is fancied to suit Jeffrey Englehart's charge. Rude Awaking got her career back on track when successful here last month, while Lune Lake only won a weak race five weeks ago but that may have boosted her confidence.

MOONSHINE MAKER took a huge leap forward from his modest debut to finish second at Belmont eight weeks ago and looks likely to be delivered fairly late here by Jose Lezcano. Posse Can Disco has a similar profile to the selection and is worth considering, while Travelin Dani was only ninth at the first attempt here last month but did bump into some traffic at a crucial stage.

PICKIN' TIME (first) got the better of Ten For Ten (second) when the pair met in a Grade 3 at the course last month and the extra furlong appears more likely to suit the former. Brooklyn Strong completes the shortlist.

SUMMER BREW sets the standard on what she has achieved in four outings so far and the filly can shed the maiden tag at the fifth time of asking. Siesta Kew and Chilly Choos appear best of the remainder.

NONNA MADELINE has been found the perfect opportunity to gain success at this level having finished third at the course last month. The main threats are likely to be Portal Creek and Sharp Starr.

JARA has been knocking on the door and wouldn't be winning out of turn. There could also be big runs on the cards from recent winners Divided Sky and Take Charge Tina.

WASP is improving between runs and rates the one to beat. Courageous Girl makes some appeal on her course third last time, while hat-trick seeker Dancing Slippers also commands the utmost respect.

MALATHAAT stepped forward when really impressive in a stakes contest at the course last month and the extra furlong is unlikely to be an issue. Millefeuille and Cafe Society appear best of the remainder.

FIRENZE FIRE was third in the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Keeneland last month and that effort is the strongest on offer in the field. King Guillermo is respected along with True Timber.
