VALALA was a promising second on debut at Saratoga in July and could be well placed to build on that. Miss Soothsayer's third-placed finish on her debut also reads well, while Don'tmindifido's second at Ellis Park was encouraging enough for her to make the shortlist.

WINDY HOUSTON's second-placed finish a Ellis Park on debut was a very promising start and she gets the vote based on the limited evidence available. Infinite Sky hinted at ability on debut and also commands respect, while Lion Lake is a notable debutant to bear in mind.

CATALONIA is hard to oppose on the back of a ready success in a maiden special weight at Gulfstream last month. Woodstock also made a winning debut at Indianapolis in July and rates a key player. Fellow last-time winner Lovely Grey is another solid option.

ROSATO has held her form well and gets the voted based on her reliability. Claimed is also a dependable contender to bear in mind, while Turino also appeals after and easy win last time.

RIPPED could be worth chancing after showing a bit more promise on his latest start. Galantini and the recently-gelded City Of Life also command respect in a wide-open maiden.

SUMMERINTAHOE steps down in class and could be hard to beat here. Stephanieswarrior and Niki Nine Doors are the pick of the remainder.

Chasing Freedom and Au Naturel are interesting newcomers but this can go to one with experience. BLUEGRASS TOWN's debut third was encouraging and he gets the vote with the promise of more to come.

STRIKINGLY SPUN had She's Lookin Lucky a place behind when filling the runner-up slot at Indianapolis last time and has good chance of going one better this time. Watch This Birdie is another to throw into the mix.

STREET BEAST was a gutsy winner here last month and gets the vote. Awesome Connection and J J Grey should also go well.

Assuming she adapts to the surroundings on her US debut, LENNILU, who was a gallant third in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, is very much the one to beat. The hat-trick seeking Snow Face Princess is feared most, while Frankie Dettori's mount Z Z's is another likely player.

Disqualified from first at Saratoga last month, FOUNDERS could be hard to beat if staying out of trouble this time. Crystal Hill and the unexposed English Rocker are a couple of others to note.
