AUGUST LILLY has her sights lowered having been well beaten in a much tougher claimer last time. She won her maiden by nine lengths here before that. Break Away has an obvious chance having finished runner-up in this grade last month when well ahead of First Bump and Likeagirl and she can go close.

SUMMER SCAMP ran well in better company on the turf course here last time and a chance is taken she can reproduce that form back on the main track. Souper True and Wild Good are similar in that both won maiden races during the summer and this is easier than their subsequent tasks.

BELLA BIONDETTI was bumped at the start on the turf last time and never recovered. She had finished much closer on the main track on her earlier debut and drops in class for this. Katira and Synchronizing are others on the drop and preferred to the more exposed Tavrida.

HOMER MATT was dropped into claiming company on his first start for over a year and won a maiden race easily at Monmouth. He can go in again here. Aggressive Dancer has leading claims on form but has been off the track since January, while Divine Deacon and Parcour look best of the rest.

OUR WAR EAGLE just missed out over 5f last time when making up lots of ground in the homestretch. This longer trip should suit and he's preferred to Mr. Meister. The latter should be sharper for a recent debut third at Laurel while the newcomer Gorgeous Kitten is worth noting with Julian Leparoux on board.

ON BOARD makes her racecourse debut for the powerful Todd Pletcher yard. The $170,000 purchase is preferred to Pegasus Kitten of the newcomers and may well be good enough. Moonless Sky has found only one too good in both starts to date and any further progress should see her thereabouts once again.

SAND SHARK made a decent start when runner-up on her recent debut. The Pletcher filly should make a bold bid with normal progress. She has most to fear from Pray For Bourbon, below par last time but placed at Belmont before that. Mydrinkselection should be noted on her racecourse debut.

BINGO KITTEN was competing in allowance races at Saratoga and Churchill Downs during the summer. This is his easiest task for some time and he can end a long losing run. Cavity, Lottery Ticket, Yorkshire Inn and Extreme Justice are others dropping down in class in a wide-open contest.

YOURDREAMSORMINE has been placed on his last eight starts now including three victories. Perfectly at home in this grade, he is just preferred to Mr. Baker, who beat Springmeier when they last met, while Cat Tree is one of the least exposed but is returning from a lengthy absence.

PARKERELIZABETH is not the most consistent but has gone close on a couple of occasions now and gets a tentative vote in a difficult contest to call. Grace's Drama was runner-up last time with My Little Princess and Patrona behind, though the latter had ran much better before that and is not out of this.
