Most of these have had plenty of chances including stable companions Zofar Zogood, who makes her debut on the track, and Bluebeard's Castle, who probably found a mile too short last time after just touched off over the track and trip. Liquid Luck has been a beaten favourite the last twice here while Pienta should do better back when over hurdles. Eagle's Flight couldn't catch Party Season over the course and distance last month but that was no disgrace though ASTADASH got no sort of run that day and can gain compensation. Tejano looks best of the remainder stepping up to a more suitable trip.
