POP'S IRISH ROSE was unable to get competitive when pitched into stakes company last month but is fancied to do much better at this more realistic level. The potentially unexposed Jermyn Street and Notapradaprice look the main dangers.

An ultra-competitive race where WILDCAT KATE is the tentative selection after she bumped into the subsequent winner R Angel Katelyn in November. Impressive debut winner Yes I'll Go is only reluctantly passed over, though, and the returning Bode's Dream is also respected.

A big run from Wildcat Kate in the previous race would boost the claims of LIRICA, who was sixth behind that runner-up on her first start since August and was an impressive winner on her previous start. My Lerler had the selection in arrears when last sighted and has to be respected in newly-fitted blinkers, while a big run from the potentially unexposed Phone Chick is also forecast.

Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight

ZORZOR had three of these opponents in arrears when runner-up at Belmont in October and looks a solid contender tonight. Snap Decision was fifth behind the selection on debut but might have more to offer with that formative experience behind him, while any market support behind Slaimy should be noted.

Race 5 - Maiden Claiming

A trappy race where SATIRE could prove tough to beat if returning to the form that saw her finish third at Woodbine on debut. The selection was disappointing on her last start, though, so the returning Substance is appealing for leading trainer Mark Casse and Gran Weekend can get on the premises after an encouraging debut.

Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight

The betting market can act as a guide to the chances of the 10 newcomers, including the interesting Flaget Braves, but preference is for WAIT after an encouraging debut second in June. Field Trip also ran with promise on his first start in August and is respected.

Race 7 - Pulpit Stakes

A really competitive race where LEMONIST shades the vote after routing his rivals in a maiden special weight in October. More is expected from him, but a similar case can be made for the lightly-raced pair of Master Plan and Concomitant, who both won well when last sighted.

20:32 Gulfstream (USA) (2YO only)

Race 8 - Buffalo Man Stakes

RECRUITING READY has proved himself in more competitive races than this and can prove too strong for these opponents in reapplied blinkers. Sonic Mule and Uncle B have been running well and look the most appealing alternatives.

21:03 Gulfstream (USA) (2YO only)

Race 9 - Smooth Air Stakes

A case can be made for several of these but FACT FINDING shades the vote after making it two wins from two starts at Keeneland in October. The undefeated Basha is only reluctantly passed over, though, and Capitaine might be worth another chance.

Race 10 - Wait a While Stakes

CREATE A DREAM bounced back to the form she showed at Royal Ascot when winning at Belmont in October and looks a leading contender. The hat-trick seeking Party Boat and last-start winner Bahama Halo look the pick of the rest.

Race 11 - Maiden Claiming

LAGO LINDO was a nose behind Blondetti Song when that pair filled third and fourth respectively last month, but the former was bumped at the start and is backed to reverse that form with blinkers a potential source of improvement. Misty Ballerina and Stolen Sunday look the pick of the remainder.
