GRAND CASH is showing plenty of promise for new trainer Wesley Ward and this drop back in class is taken to bring about a change in fortune. A reproduction of his best form will be interesting while Baletti and William's Kitten also command respect.
INNY MINNIE has shown enough from two starts to suggest she can get her head in front for the first time and the filly is also expected to appreciate the step up in trip. Tapajo and Cal Dela Casa look best of the remainder.
MOBILIZER has winning form at this level and having shaped well enough on his only start at this venue, the four-year-old colt can continue the winning trend. Keep a close eye on Eagle Poise and Odds On.
TRADING PAINT was unlucky not to score on debut after being headed close home but with improvement likely, this could be her chance. The $250,000 yearling Indyniable is worthy of close consideration along with Miss Ruud who also arrives with claims.
VARSITY was desperately unlucky when attempting to make all in the Wolf Hill Stakes at Monmouth Park last time out but a reproduction of those tactics could prove profitable here. Perfect Officer can also get serious when push comes to shove, likewise Great Attack.
SWITCH has been running consistently well in Grade 1 company all year and will prove a tough nut to crack now having her sights lowered. Musical Romance showed a likeable attitude when striking at this level over 6 1/2f at Presque Isle Downs last time (Shotgun Gulch third, Promised Mandate fourth) and should put up a good fight, while Rapport could figure prominently if fully wound up for her return to action.
THEYSKENS' THEORY lost little in defeat when runner-up in the Grade 1 Garden City Stakes at Belmont last time and she gets the vote to go one better this evening. Daveron looks an obvious danger having won each of her three starts so far this year, while Never Retreat and Aidan O'Brien's Together make up the shortlist.
SHARED PROPERTY hasn't put a foot wrong in both visits to the racetrack thus far and could take some stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick tonight. Take Charge Indy was only a length behind the selection last time and should give another good account, while Majestic City and Our Entourage are others to consider.
GIO PONTI could deliver the goods here. He has been running consistently well at the top level for a few years and is currently two from two at this venue. Dance And Dance was an unlucky sixth in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile Stakes last time and should go close with luck in running here, while Zoffany and Sidney's Candy add extra spice to the race.
SHE'S PICKY was mightily impressive when scoring by 5-lengths at Fair Grounds last time and she will prove difficult to beat if in the same mood tonight. Corleone, a winner and placed twice from four starts so far this year, should be in the shake-up again while Enchante is worthy of consideration after her fine second at Turfway most recently.
