ALL THE BEST has found just one too good the last twice, including at this venue last month, and wouldn't be scoring out of turn under Erik Barbaran. All American Jewel and Mountain Melodies are other names worth noting.

Verdict

NO MAS has bumped into one the last twice at Indiana and could put that useful form to effective use here in what looks a winnable maiden. American Solution showed promise on debut earlier in the year at Turfway Park but has since left Michael Maker's yard, while Axis is another who could enter calculations.

Verdict

FRICKA has shown potential in two starts at Thistledown and looks the most solid option in a modest field for Jeffrey Radosevich. Tap The Town is looking rather exposed now but didn't shape badly here in October after being forced wide, while Opha May looks most interesting of the three newcomers in the contest.

TICO THUNDER just found one too good here last week and could strike now turned back out quickly. The step up in trip could allow him more time to click into gear, and the likes of Send Me On and Golden Afleet might be left behind in the process.

Verdict

MONTAUK COVE struck on his last start for old connections and is 2-2 since joining the David Wolochuk yard. This is another nice opening, and he is taken to prove too strong for the likes of Let'scalliteven and Big Trip.

Verdict

CLASSIC MO has won numerous times at this level and could bounce back after doing too much too soon here last month. A more patient ride could prove the key, and he can account for Charlee's Magic and Tiz A Rush, who both misfired when well fancied in their most recent respective outings.

Top Tip: Classic Mo (5)
