BAD GUY has knocked on the door on two of his last three starts and rates a leading player. Pirelli Tower is another to consider and could make amends to supporters who sent him off favourite last time, while Mango M returned in good style 37 days ago and is another to note.
A winner at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 9l behind Transaction Tax when fifth of 6 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Belmont Park over 1m (good) last month. A winner before that and considered.

Questeq appears to be heading in the right direction and is a must for the shortlist, while the consistent Missimard is also respected.

A winner at 16-5 at Belmont Park over 6f on her latest outing in May, beating Lightworker by 1l. This is a tougher test.
A winner at 6f. Beaten 10l behind Orecchiette at 20-1 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Belmont Park over 6f (good) last month. This is a more realistic target.
A winner at 6f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Ribbonite when fourth of 9 at 22-1 on her latest outing at Belmont Park over 6f last month. Do not dismiss.
A winner at 13-2 at Belmont Park over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Posse's Paradise by 4 1/2l. That was not the strongest of maidens.

DISCO PARTNER had both Pocket Change (fifth) and Blind Ambition (seventh) behind when landing a Grade 2 contest over 6f here last month and, with stepping back up in trip no concern, he might be able to complete the double.

Dam won nine times between 6f and 1m. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Reata's Reward when sixth of 8 on her racecourse debut at Belmont Park over 6f last month. Impossible to fancy on that evidence.
