CLIFTON PLEASURE was a runaway winner over 1m at Belmont and he will take some stopping if arriving in the same mood. Jet Black, equally impressive latest, warrants plenty of respect in his bid to complete the hat-trick while More Zen Tea shouldn't be too far away either.
MESSER MISFIT has shaped with tons of promise in her workouts and she is fancied to play a leading role on debut. Cha Cha Heels and Seattle Ice Queen are others to keep an eye on.
ROLL TIDE ROLL stepped up on a number of nearly efforts when scoring readily over this trip at Belmont and, with that confidence booster under his belt, he gets the vote to follow up. His biggest dangers look to be Churchill scorer Match Up and the dropped-in-class Chipit.
SENTIERO ITALIA was only beaten three-and-three-quarter lengths in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Keeneland when last sighted and if running up to anything like that form, she should prove far too good for these. Tapitry, also dropping down from Grade 1 level, and Distorted Beauty could be left to fight out minor honours.
NIGHT MADAM has posted a number of solid efforts in defeat recently and shaped as though a step back up in trip would suit when a staying-on fourth over 7f at Belmont last time. She edges the vote ahead of Sense Of Beauty and Marnesia Big Girl.
SPECIAL RISK made a bright start to her racing career when third over 5f at Belmont and, likely to improve for this step up in trip, she could prove tough to beat. La Coronel also made an encouraging introduction and merits consideration, while Seam and Bowie make most appeal of the newcomers.
APOLOGYNOTACCEPTED hasn't done a great deal wrong in three starts thus far and, likely to appreciate this return to sprinting, she gets the vote t fend off Bileaps And Bounds and Anna Rae.
A high-class Grade 3 contest in which MADE ME SHIVER shades the verdict. She made a big impression when winning first time out over 4 1/2f at Churchill and this longer trip shouldn't pose any problems whatsoever. Olive Branch and Platinum Spark can also make their presence felt.
ANCIENT SECRET hasn't put a foot wrong in three starts thus far and could take some stopping in her bid to complete the four-timer. Irish raider Diamond Fields was a fine second in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot last time and she can go close again, while Try Your Luck and Elysea's World are others to note.
MARKET STRENGTH has displayed a fair level of ability in four starts thus far and this represents a fantastic opportunity for him to open his account. He's One Wild Dude improved a fair bit from his first to second start and can go close if progressing again, while first-time gelding Dark Gemini also has a squeak.
