3rd (1) Gracie Dance
4David HaldarJeffrey SkerrettSuccessful twice at 5f. Third of 7 behind Managing Mischief beaten at 18-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Likely to find a few too strong.

(5) Castle Magic
4Roberto PerezRobert GorhamSuccessful at 5f and 6f. Finished 1 3/4l behind Dance My Way when fourth of 5 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f in July. Needs to raise her game.
(6) Army Kitten
4Angel DiazNestor RiveraSuccessful twice at 1m. Finished 4l behind Paintbrush when fourth of 10 at 11-1 on her latest outing at Lone Star Park over 1m (good) in July. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with J Caldwell. Can mount a serious challenge.


The vote goes to ARMY KITTEN, who can exploit an ease in grade to record a third career success. My Best Day Ever and Getaway Bay are feared most.

6Angel DiazNestor RiveraHas won nine races from 6f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 3-5fav at Thistledown over 6f last month, beating Fat Daddy by 1 1/2l. This is more demanding.

7Alvaro Hernandez LopezRichard RetteleWinner of six races from 5f to 6f. A winner at 17-4 at Thistledown over 6f on his latest outing in July, beating Samurai Prince by 1/2l. Another bold bid looks assured.

6Erik BarbaranJeffrey SkerrettHas won eight races from 5f to 1m. Third of 5 behind Rainbow's Pride beaten 2l at 16-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Can make his presence felt.

8Mauro CedilloMichelle WintersHas won 12 races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 8l behind Axthelm at 80-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 6f (good) earlier this month. Needs to bounce back from a couple of lacklustre performances.
(6) Good On Ya
8Jason SimpsonMichelle WintersWinner of seven races at 6f. Finished 6l behind Wicked Warrior when fifth of 6 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. Others hold more pressing claims.

4Noel VigilRodney FaulknerWinner of five races at 6f. Finished 8l behind Rainbow's Pride when last of 5 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Not without a chance.


Having struck the woodwork on his latest outing, WILLISTON WAY is taken to go one better, possibly at the main expense of So Dialed In. Time To Shoot is also noted.

It's been a while since KINGDOM DIAMOND's last success, but Shane Meyers' gelding looks to have been handed a fine opportunity now dropped into claiming company. Rollin My Way and My Hombre complete the shortlist.

4Noel VigilRodney FaulknerUnplaced in all 12 starts. Third of siix behind Libertalia beaten 2 3/4l at 28-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f earlier this month. A minor role awaits.


This represents a drop in grade for QUICKSTYLE and she can take advantage for a first career win. That may be at the main expense of Positively and So Tempting.

6Edgar PaucarJoseph MahanWinner of six races from 5f to 1m. Finished 4 1/2l behind Sabelle when fourth of 7 at 17-2 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f in July. A course and distance winner in July but behind Lilac Lace here in June.
2nd (3) Immaculate Heart
8Luis GonzalezValerie ShanyfeltHas won 13 races from 2f to 6f. Beaten by Opulent Ways when second of 7 at 5-2 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f (good) in July. Something to find to get the better of Lilac Lace or Blazing Zenna now.
1st (5) Lilac Lace
6Luis BatistaSusan YoderHas won nine races from 5f to 6f. Third of 6 behind Special Beach beaten at 9-4 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f last month. Consistent sort who might prove hard to beat.

6Mauro CedilloTina CasalinovaWinner of five races from 5f to 6f. Finished 18l behind La Reina Del Norte when last of 6 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere.


The formbook points the way to LILAC LACE here with the six-year-old mare finishing ahead of Blazing Zenna in June, and she looks quite likely to confirm that form. Immaculate Heart has plenty to find on recent efforts, but may still be good enough to chase them home.

5Angel DiazNestor RiveraWinner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Third of 6 behind Lady Jasper beaten 4 1/2l at 9-5 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. Better off with the winner but still facing an uphill battle.

8Fernando Becerra SalazarJames JacksonHas won 11 races from 5f to 1m. Third of 6 behind Liberty Belle beaten 6l at 11-2 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. Better at this trip but hard to see her reversing 2024 form with Mission Girl or Lady Jasper.
4th (2) Lady Jasper
4Chelsey KeiserDavid WolochukWinner of six races from 5f to 1m. Won on her latest outing when 17-10fav at Thistledown over 1m last month, beating The Miracle Kiut by 4l with same ease. The one to beat if she can repeat that effort.
(1) La Rosa
5Luis GonzalezValerie ShanyfeltWinner of five races at 1m. Finished 5l behind Mission Girl when fifth of 6 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. She needs a step up on that to figure in this field.
(6) Kerri's Miracle
5Roberto PerezIvan VazquezShe has won four times from 6f to 1m. A winner at 13-2 at Thistledown over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Highly Explosive. Clearly in good form but this looks a tougher assignment.


LADY JASPER finished four and a half lengths in front of Mission Girl last month, and although worse off at the weights here, she can still confirm the form. Market Success may get the better of Lucky Penny Rose in the race for the minor placing.

1st (6) Sweeping Giant
5Ricardo FelicianoJames CanegataWinner of seven races at 1m. Won on his latest outing when 3-5fav at Thistledown over 1m last month, beating Cryo by 8l. Ahead of Cryo, Randello, and Kadesh on his last two starts and very much the in-form option.
(3) Kadesh
7Luis BatistaCraig SweetingHas won 12 races from 6f to 1m. Finished behind Strike Appeal when sixth of 9 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. Returning to a more suitable grade but held by Sweeping Giant on their August meeting.
(4) Cryo
6Jason SimpsonMichelle WintersWinner of six races from 6f to 1m 1f. Beaten 8l by Sweeping Giant when second of 6 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. Not at his best that day and possibly worth another chance.


Recent form suggests that SWEEPING GIANT is the one to beat after the five-year-old accounted for old adversary Cryo when scoring by over seven lengths here last time out. A repeat should see him land his hat-trick, with Kadesh an interesting one if he gets the run of the race.
