MAJESTIC FRONTIER won an allowance optional claimer before finding only one too strong in a minor stake, finishing a place ahead of Royal Suspect on both occasions. He looks the one to beat, with D'ont Lose Cruz arguably his primary danger this time.

Imalottalady deserves to get her head in front and has already beaten most of today's rivals, with the exceptions being the newcomer Starship Reliant and the dropped-in-class REPEAT AFTER ME. The latter has shown precious little in three starts, but it will have given her an education ahead of this more realistic assignment.

WISECRACKER has only shown a modicum of promise on the more competitive New York scene, but he has been gelded ahead of his Finger Lakes debut and all could be in place for a big run. Paint The Line also aims to capitalise on a drop in class, as Seventh Race Shake and Saratoga Weekend almost did when making the frame last time.

An uninspiring maiden claimer, with the vast majority completely exposed. FRANKIE R. had Slow Down Big Andy, Robin's Giant, Road To Power and Store Front all in behind when making the frame here a couple of weeks ago and he gets the nod on that basis.

HAPPY TIME went down with all guns blazing when on a hat-trick, pipping Jessica's Race to the runner-up berth. There may be little to choose between them again, but James Acquilano's filly is expected to confirm her superiority. Jayla is a contender with her confidence buoyed by a C&D triumph.

POT OF GOLD had Barfly back in third when successful over an extended mile here and then lost nothing in defeat when finding only one too strong over the same track and trip. He has gone well over this distance before and is preferred to the down-in-class Beta and last-start scorer Jacoba.

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from DR. BARRY's debut second over 6f here recently and this rise in distance could be just what the doctor ordered. Vesuvio and newcomer Waiting For A. I. are others to consider.

TIVOLI GARDENS was a convincing winner over C&D last time out and appears to have been found a good opportunity to follow up here. Keepmyeyeontheboys can give the selection plenty to think about, while Sabreen is also rated a key player.

Last-time-out winners Hey Toby and G MUNNING are suggested as the pair to focus on, with the former shading preference on the back of a convincing victory over C&D last time out. Bench Walk heads the list of threats posed by the remainder.
