2nd (7) Airforce Lightning
2Francisco ArrietaMichael PuhichHalf-sister to Saunter, won at 1m. Well beaten at 40-1 behind Jeweled Destiny when last of 6 on her racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 1m last month. Needs a big step forward.
5th (4) Lady Riley
2Jose OrtizChristophe DavisFull sister to Take Charge D'oro, won four times at 1m and 1m 6f. Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 14l behind Poppy The Princess at 10-1 when 9th of 10 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month. In the mix.
4th (8) Bisa
2Rafael BejaranoEduardo CaramoriUnplaced in all five starts. Beaten 11l behind Will Not Be Swayed at 60-1 when seventh of 10 on her latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 6f (good) earlier this month. A solid option.
1st (1) Benevolence
2Florent GerouxRodolphe BrissetHalf-sister to Prayed For, won four times at 1m. Beaten behind Civetta at 16-1 when 10th of 16 on her racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time and has improvement to find.
3rd (6) Reign Champagne
2Tyler GaffalioneIan WilkesYet to place in three starts. Beaten behind Destino D'oro at 33-1 when 9th of 16 on her latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 1m (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. High on the shortlist.
(2) City Cocktails
2Luis SaezEddie KenneallyDam a lightly raced maiden. Unplaced in both starts. Finished 10l behind Sweet Treasure when fourth of 10 at 7-2 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 7f (good) last month. A threat to all.
(3) Mercy Otis
2Declan CannonRoddina BarrettUnplaced in all three starts. Beaten behind Little Mo at 60-1 when 10th of 16 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Hard to recommend.
(5) Mary Loves Louie
2Edgar MoralesJ EnnisPlaced once in four starts. Third of 7 behind La Orgullosa beaten 17l at 7-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f earlier this month. Might find this is out of her reach.


BISA has faced stiffer tests then this one and is fancied to take full advantage of dropping in class here. Lady Riley can give the selection the most to think about, while Reign Champagne is another to keep a close eye on.

4th (4) Chiquita Mosca
4Rogelio MirandaIsmael BahenaA winner at 7f, but that win was over two years ago. Third of 5 behind Never Tell Patti beaten at 9-2 on her latest outing at Belterra Park over 1m last month. Shortlist material.
2nd (5) Punchy Girl
5Martin GarciaRandy MorseShe has won four times from 6f to 1m. Finished 13l behind Home Game when fourth of 7 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m last month. Might have to play a supporting role here.
3rd (6) Pens Street
6Rafael BejaranoChris HartmanWinner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Finished 5l behind Flashy Lass when fifth of 8 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m last month. Respected but this does look tougher.
1st (2) Deck Of Cards
5Ramon VazquezMichael MakerWinner of seven races from 7f to 1m. Won on her latest outing when 11-20fav at Saratoga over 1m last month, beating Cinderella's Cause. Has won seven of her 10 previous starts and hasn't shown any signs of the improvement reaching a plateau even now. A big chance.
(1) Windy Bay
4Jose OrtizRiley MottShe has won three times from 7f to 1m. A winner at 5-2 at Ellis Park over 7f on her latest outing last month, beating Little Sister Sue by 2 1/2l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Thomas Berg Van. Appeals with her bid to complete a three-timer.
(3) Big Dig
4Jareth LoveberryIsmael BahenaA winner at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Agra when fifth of 11 at 50-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month. Has plenty to find here.


The prolific DECK OF CARDS is hard to ignore and a seventh consecutive success is within her reach. Windy Bay is also holding her form well and commands respect, while Pens Street is no back number.

4th (7) Tiz Salty
3Alex AchardMichael ThompsonUnplaced in all three starts. Finished 4 1/2l behind Oh Macarena when fifth of 9 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month. Makes limited appeal.
3rd (3) Benet
3Ricardo Jr SantanaJeff HilesYet to place in three starts. Finished behind Colormecairo when fifth of 7 at 15-1 on her latest outing at Belterra Park over 1m last month. Hard to fancy.
2nd (8) No Show
3Jaime TorresKelsey DannerA winner at 1m. Finished 5l behind Lady Ophelia when fifth of 10 at 3-1 on her latest outing at Colonial Downs over 1m (good) in July. Hard to recommend.
5th (6) Two Lucys
3Adam BeschizzaAndrew McKeeverPlaced twice in six starts. Beaten 3 1/2l by Berna Ditty when second of 7 at 6-5fav on her latest outing at Belterra Park over 1m last month. One of the more appealing options to consider.
1st (2) Saranac Lake
3Tyler GaffalioneJoe SharpUnplaced in all six starts. Beaten 9l behind Tidal Tactics at 15-2 when last of 10 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m 3f (good) last month. This looks an easier assignment and she has to enter calculations.
(1) Gather The Facts
5Carlos BarbosaBobby BarnettPlaced in five of 20 starts. Beaten 1/2l by Mint Driven when second of 11 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Belterra Park over 1m (good) last month. Opposable.
(4) Dame Maude Chardin

(5) Elodine
3Mitchell MurrillElias LopezPlaced once in eight starts. Finished 10l behind Crossanna when sixth of 7 at 9-1 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 1m (good) last month. Dangerous to rule out.


This represents a drop in class for SARANAC LAKE and she can shed her maiden. Two Lucys and Dame Maude Chardin are others with solid chances.

1st (8) Connive
3Jose OrtizThomas Drury, JrHalf-sister to Bandita, won at 7f. She is entitled to need this opening bid.
2nd (4) Queen Clancy
4Francisco ArrietaDonnie Von HemelPlaced in four of eight starts. Beaten 7l behind Lightning Myqueen at 25-1 when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. Each-way player.
3rd (3) Dia Estelar
3Brian Jr HernandezKenneth McPeekDam a lightly raced maiden. A market check on her debut is advised.
(2) Mombayla
3Declan CannonMichael TomlinsonUnplaced in both starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind May May Strong when fifth of 12 at 3-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. Improvement is called for.

3Victor LebronAnthony GuidaHalf-sister to Last Call Leroy, won at 5f. Beaten 4 1/2l by Vegas Love when second of 8 at 22-1 on her racecourse debut at Belterra Park over 6f last month. This demands more.
(6) Yo Leven
3James GrahamJames BakerPlaced once in four starts. Finished 2l behind Tonalite when fourth of 12 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month. A big player if building on that.
(7) Jazz Party
3Florent GerouxB CoxUnplaced in both starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Happy Happy when fourth of 10 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m last month. She's heading in the right direction.
(9) Baby Sassicaia
3Tyler GaffalioneS Joseph JrPlaced in three of four starts. Beaten 2l by Sabrina when second of 10 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 7f in April. A similar performance should see her in the mix.


BABY SASSICAIA made a pleasing stable bow when finishing in second at Keeneland in April and she may be worth chancing on her return to action. Jazz Party and Yo Leven are also worth a second look.

(1) I Got Game
2Jaime TorresThomas AmossPlaced once in three starts. Finished 4 1/2l behind Uncaged when fifth of 7 at 10-3jt-fav on his latest outing at Saratoga over 6f last month. He should put his experience to good use.

(3) Cocktailsnkringle
2Chris LanderosIan WilkesHalf-brother to Closethegame Sugar, won three times at 5f and 6f. Beaten 1 1/4l by Firmus when second of 11 at 18-5 on his racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 6f last month. He is a must for any shortlist.

2Florent GerouxB CoxDam a lightly raced maiden. An expensive recruit that warrants close inspection.
(5) Poppa Echo
2Cristian TorresEddie MilliganDam a lightly raced maiden. Beaten 8l by East Avenue when second of 10 at 30-1 on his racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 6f last month. Each-way player.

(8) Speed King
2Tyler GaffalioneR MoquettHalf-brother to Quantum Theory, won three times at 6f and 1m. One to consider in the market on this first appearance.
(9) Monsieur Big Man
2Corey LanerieDale RomansHalf-brother to Cuddle Kitten, won eight times at 1m and 1m1f. He is one of the more intriguing newcomers.
(10) Big Much
2Ricardo Jr SantanaNorm CasseHalf-brother to Trust Me, won twice at 5f. Other newcomers appeal more on paper.
(11) Pride's Prince
2Jose OrtizSteven AsmussenHalf-brother to Curlin's Malibu, won four times at 6f. A $260,000 newcomer that enters calculations.
(12) Tethered Soul
2Ramon VazquezFausto GutierrezHalf-brother to Loudermilk, won at 5f. This class may prove beyond him on debut.
(13) Winter Creek
2Gabriel SaezPhilip BauerHalf-brother to Colonel Pike, won five times at 5f and 6f. Finished 6l behind Saratoga Cruiser when sixth of 8 at 5-2 on his racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m last month. Reserve.

2Tyler GaffalioneBrendan WalshHalf-brother to Race Craft, won nine times between 6f and 1m. Reserve.


COCKTAILSNKRINGLE posted a solid second on his debut at Ellis Park last month and that race experience could prove crucial. Admiral Dennis and Pride's Prince are the most appealing of the newcomers.
