1st (5)  Agoo |  | | | | 3 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Whitworth Beckman | A winner at 6f. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Illuminare when last of 6 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 7f in July. Merits consideration easing in grade. | ||
3rd (2)  Parkway | | | | | 4 | Ramon Vazquez | David Jacobson | A winner at 1m. Third of 7 behind Own The Field beaten 4 1/2l at 20-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 7f last month. Warrants respect in a race of this nature. | ||
2nd (1)  Miracle Worker | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | R Moquett | A winner at 6f. Finished 5l behind King's Glory when fourth of 9 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 6f in July. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Brad Cox. Would be dangerous to dismiss. | ||
4th (6)  Temecula | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brendan Walsh | A winner at 6f. Beaten by Proprietary Trade when second of 6 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 6f last month. Every chance of going one place better this time around. | ||
(3)  Findaway | | | | | 3 | David Cohen | Larry Rivelli | Dam won twice at 5f. Won on his latest outing when 3-5fav at Hawthorne over 6f last month, beating Dominant D by 3l. One of the more likely winners on paper. | ||
(4)  Shirl's Bee | | | | | 4 | Walter Rodriguez | Wesley Ward | A winner at 1m. Beaten 19l behind Sahalat at 16-10 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 6f last month. Capable if inconsistent. |
FINDAWAY did it well when scoring comfortably over this trip on his debut last month and he gets the vote to bring up a double here. Miracle Worker and Temecula are also key players.

2nd (1)  Lady Aberdeen | | | | | 3 | Corey Lanerie | Kenneth Miller | Placed in five of nine starts. Third of 11 behind Clique beaten 6l at 12-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 6f earlier this month. Consistent sort who commands respect. | ||
5th (2)  Foxy Zorra | | | | | 3 | Luis Saez | R Moquett | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 7l behind Lilms Constitution when fifth of 8 at 16-10fav on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Daniel Peitz. Unexposed sort who merits consideration. | ||
3rd (5)  Effervescent | | | | | 4 | Jaime Torres | Jordan Blair | Half-sister to Nubia, won at 1m and 1m 1f. Others appeal more. | ||
4th (9)  Endless Glow | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Dallas Stewart | Placed once in four starts. Finished behind Hey Olivia when sixth of 9 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 6f last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Hopes look pinned on the application of headgear. | ||
1st (8)  Sally O'Malley | | | | | 3 | Luan Machado | Albert Stall | Placed once in three starts. Finished 9l behind Mugen when fourth of 11 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Churchill Downs over 6f in June. Commands respect with her sights lowered. | ||
(3)  Lotus Case | | | | | 3 | Mitchell Murrill | Chris Hartman | Beaten 9l by Lagonisi when second of 7 at 15-1 on her racecourse debut at Delaware Park over 7f in July last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Rafael Schistl. Solid claims of going one place better in a race of this nature. | ||
(4)  Ella Elizabeth | | | | | 3 | Erik Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Placed once in four starts. Finished 9l behind Tennesseehoneybee when fourth of 7 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 6f last month. Warrants respect in a race like this. | ||
(6)  Flight On Race Day | | | | | 3 | Sebastian Saez | Monica McGoey | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind May May Strong when sixth of 12 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. Hard to fancy strongly for win purposes. | ||
(7)  Beach Bunny | | | | | 3 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Wayne Catalano | Placed twice in nine starts. Beaten 5l by Candy Lover when second of 10 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 7f in July. Every chance of going one place better this time around. | ||
(10)  Itookdamoneyhoney | | | | | 3 | Sophie Doyle | D Werre | Half-sister to Vilified, won at 6f. Easy to overlook in this lineup. | ||
(11)  Vin D'Or | | | | | 4 | Edgar Morales | Thomas Drury, Jr | Dam won at 5f. Finished 7l behind Vegas Love when fourth of 8 at 9-2 on her racecourse debut at Belterra Park over 6f last month. Others are preferred. |
LOTUS CASE found only one rival too good on her debut and, on the back of an absence, she gets the vote to go one place better at the second time of asking. Beach Bunny and Lady Aberdeen are also noteworthy.

2nd (9)  Ask Arthur | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Glenn Wismer | A winner at 13-5 at Canterbury Park over 7f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Shotgun Runner by 2 1/2l. This is more demanding but he is no forlorn hope in this field. | ||
4th (2)  Gamblers Tail | | | | | 3 | Walter Rodriguez | Wesley Ward | A winner at 1m. Finished 11l behind Dragoon Guard when fifth of 7 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m in June. Merits consideration with his sights lowered. | ||
1st (3)  Mo Winning | | | | | 3 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Kenneth McPeek | A winner at 6f. Finished 8l behind Uncle Happy when fourth of 7 at 9-10fav on his latest outing at Lone Star Park over 1m in May. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robertino Diodoro. Others appeal more. | ||
3rd (6)  Mandalorian | | | | | 3 | Christopher Emigh | Brittany Vanden | Won on his latest outing when 3-10fav at Hawthorne over 1m last month, beating Anger Rising by 12l. Unexposed sort who can go well. | ||
(1)  Merit | | | | | 3 | Luis Saez | Rodolphe Brisset | A winner at 7f. Finished 8l behind Event Detail when sixth of 8 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m last month. Warrants respect easing in grade. | ||

(5)  My Friend Louie | | | | | 4 | Declan Cannon | Conor Murphy | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 5l behind Curlin's Gesture when fifth of 8 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m last month. The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. | ||
(7)  Mr McGregor | | | | | 4 | Adam Beschizza | Juan Cano | A winner at 1m. Third of 10 behind Double Neat beaten 1/2l at 13-8fav on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with William Mott. Would be foolish to ignore. | ||
(8)  Mo Rum | | | | | 4 | Erik Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Won on his latest outing when 2-1fav at Ellis Park over 7f last month, beating Mo El Grande. Big each-way player. | ||
(10)  Bettera | | | | | 4 | Cristian Torres | Thomas Amoss | A winner at 1m. Finished 12l behind First Player when fifth of 6 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m 1f last month. Looks to hold more of a place chance than a winning one. |
MO RUM fairly bolted up over 7f last month and, stepping up in trip, he gets the vote to bring up a double here. Ask Arthur and Mandalorian can also make their presence felt.

2nd (6)  Viable | | | | | 3 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Thomas Drury, Jr | Placed once in four starts. Pulled up when 8-1 at Ellis Park over 1m won by Playback in July on her latest outing. Will do well to win. | ||

1st (4)  Union Mist | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brendan Walsh | Placed in five of nine starts. Beaten 4 1/2l by Centuria when second of 11 at 3-1fav on her latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m 1f (good) in June. Should be in the mix. | ||
(1)  Vanished | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | Michael McCarthy | Placed in three of seven starts. Beaten 3 1/2l behind Sweet Sweetfantasy at 6-4fav when seventh of 11 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in December last year. Could go well. | ||
(5)  Runcatherinerun | | | | | 3 | Martin Chuan | Dale Romans | Half-sister to Maryland Pride, won twice at 1m. Finished behind Hey Olivia when fifth of 9 at 13-2 on her racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 6f last month. Entitled to improve. | ||

(8)  Legacy Defined | | | | | 3 | Joseph Rocco Jr | Steve Hobby | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 13l behind Irina's Charm at 11-1 when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 6f in July. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Does not inspire much confidence. | ||

UNION MIST has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark, although Churning Berni and Vanished should not be discounted.

The in-form UNSUNG MELODY can complete a hat-trick at the main expense of Zeitlos, Positano Sunset and Happy Am I.

(3)  Cyclone Mischief | | | | | 4 | Corey Lanerie | Dale Romans | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. A winner at 17-5 at Ellis Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Rhyme Schemes. The percentage call is to oppose. | ||

3rd (2)  Giocoso | | | | | 2 | James Graham | J Desormeaux | Won on his latest outing when evens fav at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month, beating Courageous Clay by 6l. Will need to improve further. | ||
4th (11)  Mesero | | | | | 2 | Corey Lanerie | Dale Romans | Half-brother to Bleecker Street, won seven times between 1m and 1m 2f including a Grade 1 race. A winner at 5-1 at Ellis Park over 6f on his latest outing in July, beating Trew Violence by 1 3/4l. Hard to rule out. | ||

(4)  Authentic Strike | | | | | 2 | Luis Saez | Rodolphe Brisset | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Won on his latest outing when 20-21fav at Ellis Park over 7f last month, beating Kinetic Control by a neck. More to come. | ||
(6)  Strummin | | | | | 2 | Cristian Torres | John Hancock | A winner at 4-1 at Ellis Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Morlock by 2 3/4l. Others look more appealing options. | ||
(8)  Magnitude | | | | | 2 | Tyler Gaffalione | Steven Asmussen | Dam a lightly raced maiden. A winner at 11-4 at Ellis Park over 7f on his latest outing in July, beating Morlock by 6l. One to consider. | ||

OWEN ALMIGHTY followed up his debut victory with an impressive performance in stakes company last time, and he looks the one to beat. First Resort and Sandman are just two others to consider.

1st (4)  Handsome Pants | | | | | 2 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Kenneth McPeek | Half-brother to Missle Bomb, won nine times at 6f. The betting could provide all the clues. | ||
3rd (9)  Cooper | | | | | 2 | Irad Ortiz Jr | William Mott | Half-brother to Jefferson Street, won twice at 6f. Beaten 9l behind Incentive Pay at 12-1 when eighth of 9 on his racecourse debut at Saratoga over 6f in July. Easy enough to look elsewhere. | ||

(2)  Homer's Odyssey | | | | | 2 | Erik Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Dam won five times at 1m and 1m 1f. Unplaced in both starts. Finished 8l behind Giocoso when sixth of 12 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month. Improvement is called for. | ||
(6)  So Sandy | | | | | 2 | Jose Ortiz | Cherie Devaux | Half-brother to So Dialed In, won six times between 5f and 1m. Beaten 16l behind Authentic Strike at 18-1 when 9th of 12 on his racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 7f last month. Appears to be up against it. | ||
(7)  Desert Aire | | | | | 2 | Martin Garcia | Michael Puhich | Half-brother to Jacksonville, won ten times at 5f and 6f. Third of 11 behind Firmus beaten 4 1/2l at 13-1 on his racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 6f last month. Could land a blow. | ||

(10)  Thunderhawk | | | | | 2 | Luis Saez | P Eurton | Half-brother to Strip It Down, won six times at 6f. Beaten 9l behind Mesero at 6-1 when seventh of 12 on his racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 6f in July. Will need to improve. | ||

KINETIC CONTROL produced an encouraging debut effort when finishing second last month and, with normal improvement, he could be the one to beat. Tickled Quist and Homer's Odyssey also enter calculations.
