CALL BROS has been running well in defeat of late and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the gelding to get off the mark. Others to note are Rey De Ligas and Scotch Whiskey.

MS BIG SPRING showed signs of a revival when finishing fourth at Gulfstream Park West last time and she merits plenty of respect today. That said, Play That Tone and Say Adios could give her plenty to think about.

Cobb and Little Dude both merit places on the shortlist but the vote goes to the unexposed EXXTOP, who arrives here having finished second twice in recent weeks.

PARTY OF NO has shaped with plenty of promise in four starts thus far, including when three-parts-of-a-length third over 7f at Gulfstream Park West last time, and he can open his account. El Afortunado drops in class and is respected, while Mista Donzella holds each-way claims.

INCLUDE THE BEAST made a big impression when scoring on her debut over 5 1/2f at Gulfstream Park West in October and, likely to improve for this step up in trip, she might be able to complete the double. Texas Reward and Lights On Girl are both serious dangers, though.

AYCAPOTE has won two of his last three and is fancied to strike again, possibly at the main expense of first-time gelding Pretendant and Hero Up, who will appreciate having his sights lowered.

Hallawallah, Bargainaire and GERRI B could all find this easier than their most recent appearances, and the latter of that trio shades the verdict dropping back in trip having made the podium on the last three occasions. A D'oro and Pago Querido both looked like useful prospects when getting off the mark and have to be respected despite coming up against quality opposition this time.

GREYES CREEK has justified favouritism the last twice and Chad Brown's $850,000 purchase is the one to beat in search of a hat-trick. Kingmeister was a beaten favourite last time, but his form before that is enough to see him involved here. Succeedandsurpass obliged favourite-backers at Woodbine and is respected once again, with Grand Journey and Scraps foolish to rule out.

COURT RETURN was denied by a neck in a Woodbine Grade 1 last time and a repeat of that effort here could see him get on the scoresheet. Todd Pletcher has a strong hand with useful pair Always Shopping and Cap De Creus, while Chad Brown's Great Island arrives unbeaten in two this term and looks a top prospect to keep a close eye on.

FIRENZE FIRE finished best of those who competed in the Breeders' Cup Sprint in third, and having landed a Grade 2 at Belmont before that, could be the answer now stepping up to 7f. Diamond Oops and Lasting Legacy were sixth and ninth respectively at Keeneland, but have some very smart form in the book. Sleepy Eyes Todd took the Lafayette Stakes on the same card and is also noted.

Girl Dad and Public Information both merit plenty of respect, but marginal preference is for HE'SPUREGOLD after he put in an encouraging debut effort at Keeneland in October.
