MEKANO has been holding his form well on his recent starts at this course and he can build on those efforts to lose his maiden tag here. Board Certified is feared most if improving on his latest third at Philadelphia Park, while Summer Shandee completes the shortlist.

GODS PROMISE hinted at a return to form when finishing second at this course and he can step forward on that display in this contest. Camp Pendleton has been holding his form well and he is likely to be in the mix, while Eastern Symphony is another to consider.

CODE NAME LISE seemed to have plenty in hand when losing her maiden tag at this course in November and she can continue her progression in this higher grade. Mudslide Wicked could find improvement returning to these calmer waters, while Twelfth Moon is also respected.

Some decent prospects here, none more so than $275,000 filly KATHLEEN O. who produced a nice turn of foot to score at Aqueduct first time out, giving the impression there was chunks more to come. Surreal Fantasy, an emphatic winner at Tampa second time out, is the obvious danger with Fast And Flirty the next most interesting.

The 1m trip and turf surface throw up a few question marks here, but there are no such worries regards OPALINA who excelled herself when not beaten too far in a Grade 2 event last time. Fellow proven turf performers Ocean Safari and Louella Street may prove most troublesome.

All of these have proved tricky to win with and, if there is any value, it may lie with EMICRACK who has been gelded since finishing just behind War Feather and Campeador in a bunched finish over this C&D last month.

It is hard to oppose O CAPTAIN, who bolted up on his debut here in August and he looks to be an exciting prospect. The main dangers may prove to be Of A Revolution and Lightening Larry.

HARDLY SOCIAL sets the standard after hitting the crossbar here last month, although Khosea and La Rusia could give her plenty to think about this evening.

No Nay Franklin and Biz Biz Buzz both merit plenty of respect but the vote goes to GRAND SONATA, who was not beaten far in a competitive contest at Aqueduct last time.

STRIKE HARD won well on his most recent start at this track last month and the colt is expected to progress again from that effort. Graphic Detail and Skippylongstocking complete the shortlist.

TIMMY M. has been in fine fettle in recent weeks and the six-year-old is taken to land a fifth career victory. Marisa's Mission and Uhtred are feared most.
