TAKE YOUR PLACE drops into calmer waters after just two starts for Jamie Ness in 2020 and could take some stopping at this level. Won Dozen Banks was successful here last month and can prove the biggest threat, just ahead of Jeezum Jim.

MORGANS MELODY is 2-2 in her short career so far and could remain unbeaten in what appears to be another winnable contest for the filly. Yellow Chick deserves respect after finishing second at Philadelphia when last seen, while Raisetonew Heights might also make her presence felt.

TAKE CHARGE ERICA has won two of her last three races for Aaron Shorter and this looks another nice chance for the filly to strike. Fish To Fry and Charity Stripe bring some reasonable form to the table and could claim podium berths.

BAGGINS was the big eye-catcher in the race when a close second here last time and could claim compensation after six races without success. Carthage and Talented Dr. B will be waiting to pounce should the selection be found wanting at the finish.

There is a possibility here that Cactus Jack and Expediter will take each other on for the lead and that could set things up for class dropper TOO MUCH DATA to strike. The sprinter showed flashes of ability at Laurel last winter and this contest looks made for him.

RHYTHM GUITAR was second at this level in August and, despite a modest effort in deeper waters here last month, is fancied to bounce back to form. Scoop The Cash could go close if ridden aggressively, while The Franchise might be finishing well late in the day.

PENNSYLVANIA STEEL accounted for Fireinthepulpit (second) here last month and the form of that contest was franked when the latter scored over C&D a fortnight ago. The first-mentioned looks a bit stronger on paper, and the pair are fancied to fight out the finish, ahead of Owin.

TIPSY MOOSE returned to form with a big win over C&D earlier this month and could thrive now with new connections. Pictor seldom runs a bad race at this level, while Early Entry is better than what he showed at Delaware last time.

GOLDEN VIPER remains open to improvement after just six career starts and could take a bit of stopping now dropped in class. Lord Red Peak and Stone Hearted are fancied to put up most resistance.

SUCCESS HURRICANE caught the eye when third here earlier this month and could claim an overdue success in what looks to be a nice opening for Erin McClellan's charge. Vicksburg Bluffs and Magician'scalendar are also expected to be involved at the business end.

SACRED MOUNTAIN hasn't been disgraced the last twice over a mile here, but looks happier over sprinting distances and could take a bit of beating back over his preferred trip. Atlantic Chill and Munsoor might be worth adding to any potential combination bets.
