BATTLEMENTS shaped with much more promise over 1m last time and ought to open his account here. Hezro is worth another opportunity and shouldn't be far away, with Red Dirt Racer completing the shortlist.
WON GREAT DAMSEL showed up well for a long way here at the start of the month and will be more at home over 6f tonight. Neverrguwithrichie is penalised for her latest success but warrants respect nonetheless, with She's Out To Lunch also considered.
ENDER'S UNIVERSE made this intermediate distance his own throughout the summer and will be difficult to stop if returning in the same vein. Fiji Star rates the biggest danger with Rocky Bear respected dropping in trip.
Let The Kitten Run is respected eased in grade, but PASS THE TORCH shades the verdict after recording a bloodless victory last time. Hearts Wild is also worth a second look.
CANDID OPINIONS produced his best performance to date when getting his head in front at Mountaineer at the start of the month, and with his confidence presumably buoyed by that success, he looks capable of following up here. If there are any doubts over the slightly extended trip for the selection, then Passion Park looks a worthy alternative, and Naughty Scotty completes the shortlist.
CITI POINT bounced back to better form when getting to within three and a half lengths of the winner at Churchill Downs last month, and returning to a track where he has enjoyed success before, he may be able to build on that and go closer here. Issheit won well last time and looks the danger, while Buddah's Delight may figure now dropped in class.
FONEPFERESH possibly tried to do too much from the front when last sighted in October but can go close with a more patient ride here. Falutin may be the biggest danger if she can convert her best form from turf to dirt, while Film Idol found only one too good last time.
PRESENT COURSE has impressively put four wins together recently and he is fancied to strike again whilst the iron is hot. Occasional View was only a neck off landing a Grade 2 contest at Woodbine last time and rates the biggest threat, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Knights Nation.
SLYDONNA stayed on powerfully to notch up a second career win over 1m at Beulah last time and, with this extra yardage seen as more of a help than a hinderance, she is fancied to follow up. Class Of Fifty Two and October Song are also expected to go well.
