(9) Charming Jim	4	Jose Lezcano	Mark Hennig	Placed in three of nine starts. Third of 10 behind Within View beaten 1l at 14-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m (good) last month. A similar performance should see him involved.

Finished 12l behind And One More Time when fifth of 8 at 28-1 on her racecourse debut at Saratoga over 5f (firm) last month. Can take closer order now dropped in class and stepped up in trip.
(11) Portrait Of Addie	2	Lane Luzzi	Roy Lerman	Dam won seven times at 5f and 7f. Making her racecourse debut and a place may be her best hope.
(12) Katerina Ristova	2	Jorge Panaijo	Amira Chichakly	Yet to place in six starts. Finished 7l behind Annie Goodbody when fourth of 9 at 40-1 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 1m (good) last month. Held by Lotus Petal (third) on that form.

(15) Teca	2	Irad Ortiz Jr	Linda Rice	Placed twice in three starts. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Annie Goodbody when last of 9 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 1m (good) last month. Main track only. Reserve.

Following a near-miss at Delaware, ON A SUMMER DAY made the frame in a tougher C&D event and she has strong claims now eased in class. Lotus Petal and Mezcalifornia appear to be the main threats.
