SPEZIA has finished no worse than fifth on his last six outings and hinted his turn could be near when finishing a close second over an extended five furlongs here last month. Jumpn' James looks a likely improver now he has his sights lowered, while Forest Blue has finished runner-up on his last two starts and looks the pick of the remainder.

Mr. Discretionary has joined leading connections since his latest fourth over a mile at Monmouth Park and a bold bid from him would come as no surprise, while Alasaal would rate a threat if back to the form of his penultimate third. However, CAUSEWAY CANDY regained the winning thread with a fluent success at Thistledown and has yet to finish outside of the first two in six starts over this trip.

BRET'S AT CADDIES had Shacklefords Storm (second) in behind when completing a double over track and trip in July and he is difficult to oppose in his current form. Opeongo scored by five lengths under these conditions last month and may prove the biggest danger.

NANCY KNOWSTHEMATH has been steadily improving with experience and posted another solid effort when runner-up over track and trip last month. She appears to have been found the ideal opportunity to shed the maiden tag, and can prove too strong for Magic Credit and the class dropping Easy Tiger.

CHESTER MON has been performing with credit in slightly stronger contests than this and could prove the answer back in calmer waters. Red Alert invariably runs his race in this grade and can prove the biggest danger, ahead of Cardcounter.

ABE finished third in a stronger contest over this trip at Indiana in July and could prove difficult to beat if running to that level here. Woodburn Hall wasn't at his best last time but would rate a threat to all if back to the form of his penultimate second, with last-time-out winner Trueno looking the pick of the remainder.

PALTARREVENGE found the rise in grade beyond him when trying for a hat-trick over this trip at Thistledown in July, but his earlier form looks solid in the context of this race and he also boasts winning form at this venue. Charming Indy completed a double in fluent fashion under these conditions last month and he may prove the biggest danger, ahead of People's Champ.

S S ALTERNATE demolished her rivals by nearly 13 lengths when shedding the maiden tag over an extended five furlongs here last month and she is difficult to oppose after such a dominant performance. Glitzy Gala has reached the frame on her last three starts, while Treasured Bond ought to appreciate the drop in trip. They look the pair to concentrate on for minor honours.

READY TO PLAY drops significantly in grade and has displayed enough in her five starts thus far to suggest she will prove difficult to beat in this company. Daddys Real Diva is another to have her sights lowered and she isn't passed over lightly, while Nacho Lover remains open to further improvement after only two outings and completes the shortlist.
