This looks between STARBUCK'S BABY and Goodunderthehood, who both filled the runner-up berth in similar events at Sacramento last week. The former is just preferred having gone down by the shortest of margins that day.

Allegro Fire had a few of these in arrears when filling the runner-up berth the last twice and could go one better here. However, she was only a place ahead of ANNA BELLA AA at Sacramento last month and the latter is expected to come on plenty for that debut, so could turn the tables. Wma Rio Bravo completes the shortlist.

This looks a good opportunity for SECRET AGENT GIRL to record a third success in five starts, and both her victories came at this distance. The in-form filly could be given something to think about by Hot Gem or Rocky's Friend if they leave their last runs behind.

A wide-open event but there is plenty to like about the chances of JUANSAGAIN, who bids for a hat-trick after two dominant performances and looks sure to go well from the front again. The downgraded Tremors Code and the improving Bullseye are feared most.

C J Knows Best and LAST MINUTE have exchanged verdicts the last twice and could be the pair to concentrate on, with the latter's head second at the end of June possibly setting the recent standard. Last-time-out maiden scorers Adaptability and Shayna Punims must be respected.

Lady Sophia and Bolt Up both arrive in search of a hat-trick but have yet to score on turf and the switch from dirt is a concern. Conversely, EMMA NAMED ME is one from one on turf and can make the most of a drop in class now returned to grass.

This shouldn't take much winning and it looks a good opportunity for CATS CONTESSA to gain a deserved success after a string of good efforts in defeat. Fancy Cookie has also been threatening to score and rates the biggest threat, ahead of Highland Rose.

BELLANZA had three of these behind when runner-up latest and looks the one to beat returned to turf, having won well on grass the time before. Fear most are Papaclem'smidnight, who has been knocking on the door and also has winning turf form to her name, and Syndrome.
