Comment: Went down by half a length 13 days ago in a maiden claimer; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; needs to be respected as latest run was an encouraging one and his latest performance on the clock offers hope he can cope with the tag rise.

Sterling Silver

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 22-122

2/1

Comment: String of consistent efforts of late and won a stakes four months ago; beaten only narrowly behind Bernietakescharge two months ago in a stakes; ought to be competitive as she can go well fresh and dropping back to 7f is a plus.

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 2-22111

4/1

Comment: Possesses winning form at this track; bagged a hat-trick last time; problems in the gate at the start when winning by three-quarters of a length at Belmont At The Big A in an allowance optional claimer with Cupid's Heart and Tricky Temper behind last month; this looks tougher but should make a bold bid.

Comment: Managed two wins in her last six outings; producing consistent form; respectable effort (beaten 5l) at Churchill Downs two months ago (sloppy track) in an allowance optional claimer; she should go close despite this step up in class.

Comment: Has won here; all her victories have been gained at a lower level; behind Dolomite at Belmont At The Big A 34 days ago when involved in the finish in an allowance optional claimer; others more appealing with tougher test on the cards.

Jockey: Jose Ortiz Trainer: Jeremiah Englehart Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1675-6

16/1

Comment: Finished last of six in an allowance optional claimer at Belmont At The Big A last month; course specialist (three wins from seven) but slumped a bit since winning a stakes at Saratoga last August; the trainer is going well; this demands more than last time so others more likely.

Cara's Time

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Mitchell Friedman Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 4-55464

Comment: Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (4l) at Belmont At The Big A over 6f (stakes) four weeks ago; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win) but generally modest form since stakes success at Belmont At The Big A in October; she can be taken on given many of her rivals are in good form.

Comment: Yet to taste defeat at this track, winning on all two visits; likes this combination of C&D; third in April, only beaten 1l, (Keeneland) in an allowance optional claimer; a likely player given her record when fresh and she can cope with this step up in class.

Comment: Missed out by a head at Belmont At The Big A over 6f (maiden special weight) finished just ahead of Froghollowsummer in October; returns from a break here; can make a decent bid as showed promise in workout two weeks ago and she is dropping into a maiden claimer for the first time.
