A repeat of ALKINATOR's third over 5f at this venue last time would make her difficult to beat tonight. Ate has been disappointing recently but can feature if anywhere near her best, while any market support for Maggieadare on debut should be noted.
FIRE EATER showed no signs of stopping over 7f at this track last time and he will be fancied to follow up tonight. Six Chicks and Amabilis are expected to give Juan Carlos Guerrero's colt most to think about.
STRAWBERRY BLUSH won with any amount in hand over this trip at Monmouth latest and she will be fancied to repeat the dose here. Destiny Road looks an obvious danger following her track success last month, while Tyrana is no forlorn hope.
DREAMLESS lost little in defeat when runner-up over this trip at Penn National last time and she gets the vote to go one better tonight. Harley Chick appears to be heading the right way and could feature, while Gabby's Wild Cat makes up the shortlist.
MARCHING TIME was impressive when striking at Monmouth latest and he will prove a tough nut to crack if in the same mood tonight. Doasisay Notasisay is an ultra-consistent gelding and should be in the shake-up once more, while Tar Beach has definite claims.
SMOKIN QUEENIE won first time out for new trainer Ronald Taylor and can follow up, despite stepping up in class. She won with plenty in hand on that occasion and shaped as though there is plenty more to come. Muffin Top and Ben's Boots appeal most of the others and must be considered.
This looks an obvious opportunity for TRUE HEAVEN to continue the winning thread as he bids to land the six-timer. He continues to win with plenty in hand but while hard to look past, he does have two genuine dangers in the shape of The Last Wave and Starship Scott.
SAILOR GULLY appears to be the safest option in this contest going in search of the hat-trick. He appears to be thriving for relatively-new connections and winning form over Prince Noir is a huge plus. Car Thief is interesting and finished eye-catchingly at Delaware Park last time out but Wild Geese stands out as the most likely to trouble the selection.
Blown Save commands respect having won on debut here in late June but slight preference is for LORD OF ARETE, who steps down in class and could have too much for his rivals. He has struggled to find his feet since shedding his maiden tag but this could be his opportunity. Appledore appeals the most of the others and shouldn't be overlooked.
