UNION COLONEL has gone close to getting off the mark on his last couple of starts and Mark Casse's colt gets the vote to shed his maiden tag at the fifth attempt. American Goddess is respected along with More Like It.

JUST A BIT SASSY bumped into one when runner-up over C&D at the start of the month and she is taken to make amends on this occasion. Yolanda's Pride and Little Bit Good appear best of the remainder.

WEEKEND DREAMER shaped with promise on debut and is a potential improver on his first start following a gelding operation. Malibu Edge drops in grade and could figure, while any money for newcomer Liam's Point, who has shown ability in his workouts, would also be noteworthy.

TIME FOR TROUBLE impressed when second on debut at Belmont in the summer and should go close if building on that run on his return from a break. Voodoo Zip and U S Army Corps make most appeal of the remainder.

BLUE BUFF impressed when scoring over 6f here last month and could follow up to land a double. Charlie The Greek and Allurstra look best of the rest.

Consistent pair Let's Go Mick and Krachenwagen make plenty of appeal. However, this could go the way of BLAKEY, who looked back to something like his best when a silver medallist last time and can go one better.

LEADING WEST is more experienced than most, but that isn't always a bad thing in races like this and he caught the eye when hitting traffic over C&D last month. Course specialist Luis Saez rides this time, and the pair can prove too hot to handle for Battalion and Chad Brown-trained newcomer Pricing Exercise.

SILVER RATIO showed a lovely attitude to make his debut a winning one for Todd Pletcher five weeks ago and, given that runners from the yard improve plenty second time out, it wouldn't be a surprise if the Liam's Map colt remained unbeaten here. Violent City and Cost Basis add depth to a really tasty contest.

Jackson is rapid out of the gates and could take some catching if allowed an easy lead but the chances are that this will set up for LASTING LEGACY, who was second in a stronger Grade 3 event here just before Christmas. Epic Dreamer should also be on the scene late in the day.

In an open race, marginal preference is for RY'S THE GUY, based on his narrow defeat in a stakes race when last seen in September. The shortlist is completed by Kroy and Mustaaqeem.

It is hard to oppose FRANK'S ROCKETTE, who has her sights lowered having hit the crossbar in a pair of Grade 1 contests last year. Sound Machine is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Yesterdayoncemore.

Tap The Mojo and Zoe's Delight both merit respect but the nod goes to ALMASHRIQ, who was a useful performer in the UK and he should have no problem adapting to dirt racing.
