2Francisco ArrietaJohn WainwrightDam won twice at 6f. Placed once in two starts. Finished behind Robert's Moon when fourth of 13 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time but needs to do more to reverse the form with Captain Fancy, who was second that day.
2nd (13) Hoff
2Erik AsmussenSteven AsmussenHalf-brother to Brio, won at 1m. Reserve.
3rd (8) Captain Fancy
2Declan CannonGregory Foley$40,000 Mendelssohn half-brother to Show Time, won twice at 7f and 1m. A running-on second over a furlong shorter at Ellis Park on debut and expected to find plenty for the experience.
4th (1) Storm The Streets
2Tyler GaffalioneJoe SharpHalf-brother to Bankers Holiday, won twice at 7f and 1m. Unplaced in both starts. Finished 19l behind Eighty West when fifth of 7 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 6f last month. Others may improve past him now.
(2) Baytown Bulleit
2Antioco MurgiaPaul McEnteeYet to place in three starts. Finished behind Goodmenarescarce when fourth of 8 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Belterra Park over 1m (good) last month. More to do in this valuable contest.
(3) El Oso
2Agustin GomezTirso RiveraHalf-brother to Kimberleywithaneeh, won five times at 1m. Placed once in two starts. Beaten 4l by The Count Is On when second of 8 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 7f (good) last month. This trip may prove ideal and he brings both experience and form to the party.
(4) Cutlass King
2Gerardo CorralesArmando Hernandez$20,000 Hit It A Bomb half-brother to Discreet Kiss, won four times at 5f and 6f. One to watch for a stable having a quiet spell.
(5) Tap Em' Out
2Christopher EmighBrittany Vanden$40,000 Tapit half-brother to The Taj, won twice at 5f and 6f. Showing plenty of speed in the mornings and one to consider.
(6) Coastertothemoon
2Jose OrtizMichael Maker$21,000 Vekoma colt, dam unraced. Representing a top stable but not showing enough yet to suggest a winning debut.
(7) Begforforgiveness
2Jaime TorresJuan Cano$15,000 The Factor colt, dam a lightly raced maiden. Yet to catch the eye of the morning workwatchers.
(9) So Grand
2Irad Ortiz JrCarlo VaccarezzaFull brother to Gold Alliance, won at 4f. Beaten behind Brie's In Town at 30-1 when 10th of 11 on his racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time and they need to bring about plenty of improvement.
(10) Bourbon State
2Adam BeschizzaDarrin MillerHalf-brother to Hpnotiq Rhythm, won seven times between 6f and 1m. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Hedge when last of 12 on his racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 7f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time as connections look for signs of any improvement.
(11) Malachi
2Luan MachadoEddie Milligan$24,000 Curlin's Honor half-brother to Ninja Star, won at 5f and 1m. One to watch first time out.
(14) Razorcat
2J R LeparouxLindsay SchultzDam won twice at 6f and 7f. Reserve.
(15) Love That Symphony
2L DettoriVictoria OliverHalf-brother to Red Valor, won eight times between 4f and 6f. Reserve.
(16) Daguerre
2Tyler GaffalioneRobert MedinaHalf-brother to Eddington's Note, won eight times at 5f. Reserve.


Experience matters in these maidens and this may go the way of Horseshoe Indianapolis second El Oso or the once-raced CAPTAIN FANCY. The latter ran on into second at Ellis Park and looks all set to go close over an extra furlong here. Tap Em' Out might be the speediest of the newcomers and is one to watch for future contests.

4th (6) From Scratch
3David CohenGrant ForsterPlaced once in three starts. Beaten 2 1/4l by Absolute Miracle when second of 7 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Tougher opposition here, but it could be folly to ignore her chances.

Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with William Pribble, and she needs to bounce back to the level of her debut second or more to get into the mix.
2nd (12) Ripassare
3Tyler GaffalioneBrendan Walsh$160,000 Vino Rosso half-sister to Hop Kat, won nine times between 5f and 1m. Working well and a market watch may give a better idea about her chances.
1st (11) Unhidden Gem
3Brian Jr HernandezAlbert StallFull sister to Mystery Power, won three times at 6f and 7f including a Group 2 race. Finished 4l behind La Salvadorena when sixth of 9 at 3-1 on her racecourse debut at Saratoga over 5f (good) last month. Step up needed but expected to have learned from the experience.
(1) Kimberlina
3Sophie DoyleJustin WojczynskiUnplaced in both starts. Beaten behind Don't Say It at 35-1 when 10th of 16 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. Upped in trip hoping to find some improvement.
(2) Material Witness
4Florent GerouxRob AtrasPlaced twice in six starts. Finished 5l behind Lightning Myqueen when fifth of 12 at 3-1fav on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. Her 2023 placed form gives her every chance.
(3) Zappera
4Declan CannonPaul BrownUnplaced in all three starts. Finished 2 1/2l behind Sweet Sweetfantasy when fifth of 11 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in December last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Ben Colebrook, but the drop back in trip does not look a positive.
(4) Growth Rate
3Irad Ortiz JrChad BrownPlaced once in five starts. Finished 4 1/2l behind Eastern Empress when fifth of 10 at 19-5 on her latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m (good) in June. Back down in trip, which looks a positive move.
(5) Mo Attitude
3Jareth LoveberryAnna NavarretePlaced once in two starts. Third of 12 behind Summerintahoe beaten 2l at 25-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in December last year. She is wearing blinkers for the first time and if they bring her focus, she has every chance.
(7) Bloody Colors Wave
3Francisco ArrietaGeorge ArnoldDam won three times at 5f. Beaten by Hey Olivia when second of 9 at 19-2 on her racecourse debut at Ellis Park over 6f last month. No match for the winner that day, but entitled to find more.
(9) Runaway Kitten
3Luis SaezJohn OrtizPlaced once in four starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Tahini when fourth of 6 at 8-1 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 5f (good) last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Ryan Hanson, but others may improve past her now.
(10) Jerseys Parade
3Jose GutierrezCharles MeredithUnraced Bee Jersey filly, dam won at 6f. Working well and if there is a big shock, she may provide it.
(13) Flight On Race Day
3Jesus CastanonMonica McGoeyUnplaced 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. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Reserve.

3Adam BeschizzaKelsey DannerPlaced once in three starts. Beaten behind Just The Sky at 10-1 when 10th of 15 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) last month. Reserve.


It may be worth keeping a close eye on newcomer Jerseys Parade, who has been working like a star recently. Bloody Colors Wave can only improve for her debut second and may battle with MO ATTITUDE for the spoils. Third despite being hampered when last seen in December, the latter's recent work suggests she is ready to roll for this season.

4Tyler GaffalioneBrendan WalshA winner at 6f on the all-weather. Third of 11 behind Finster beaten 1 1/2l at evens fav on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f (good) last month. Consistent sort who warrants a place on the shortlist.

(6) Gatlinburg
4Erik AsmussenSteven AsmussenA winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten 1l by Event Detail when second of 8 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m last month. Interesting if he can get to the front from the off.

3Gerardo CorralesLarry RivelliA winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 3 1/2l behind Table Money when fourth of 9 at 9-5fav on his latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f (good) in June. Lightly raced but he needs to improve considerably.

3Jaime TorresAlbert StallWon on his latest outing when 17-10fav at Ellis Park over 1m (good) in July, beating Sicilian Defense by a short head. Dropping in trip, which may not see him at his very best.

3Abel LezcanoEduardo CaramoriA winner at 5f on the all-weather. Finished behind One Way Farrior when fifth of 6 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 5f in November last year. Working well and not as out of this as his odds may imply.

3Tyler GaffalioneRobert MedinaA winner at 22-1 at Ellis Park over 5f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Livehappy by 3/4l. Reserve.


A full field may mean luck in running is needed but we may see GATLINBURG attempt to make all, despite the drop back in trip. He won't be stopping close home either and could have the heart to hold off the expected challenges of Demolition Duke, Glacial Power and perhaps Stormin Tanda.
