Verdict: PERUGIA gets a firm vote. She made an encouraging debut and could see the likely strong pace tee things up nicely for her. Wild Mischief isn't out of it.

Floy Joy

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: David Donk Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; from a trainer with a solid record with debutants; others look more obvious on paper; the betting may be the best guide.

Purest Performance

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: Jr John Pregman, Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 7550-

Comment: Still winless and defeats stacking up (14 on the bounce); finished last of ten in November in a maiden claimer; returns from a layoff; unlikely to make any impact as this is a tougher test.

Wild Mischief

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 476-6

Comment: Finished sixth, beaten a fair way in February in a maiden special weight; likely to be involved as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest and has shown she can be competitive fairly recently.

Mommy's Turn

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8-

Comment: Not far behind Wild Mischief over Christmas when eighth over C&D; from a powerful stable and related to Stakes winner Makin My Move; returns from a layoff; yard going well a plus; should be thereabouts if finding progression from her early experience.

Miss Uproar

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Fernando Abreu Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 25-435

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 5l) in a maiden claimer last month; has displayed improved form on last two starts but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 13; this represents a step up in class so one to tread carefully with.

Lady Delilah

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: James Ferraro Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5400-

Comment: Related to Stakes winner High Limit Room but this now her fifth attempt to get off the mark; finished tailed off in a maiden special weight (Belmont At The Big A) upped to 1m½f with first-time blinkers in November; has had some time off; others more persuasive.

Je T'adore

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Raymond Handal Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8-7

Comment: Finished last of seven in a maiden claimer (sloppy track) in February; related to Stakes winner Listentoyourheart.

Perugia

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-

Comment: Respectable debut effort (beaten 2½l) at Saratoga over 5½f at 7-2 in August; related to Stakes winner Amundson and has a nice pedigree (by Frosted); returns from a layoff; leading contender as appeals from a breeding angle and her initial effort hints at more to come.

Mega Changer

Jockey: Jose Gomez Trainer: Dimitrios Synnefias Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -7

Comment: Close up behind Wild Mischief in February when last (7f, here, wearing blinkers); couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.

Sunshine Lily

Comment: Respectable sixth in a maiden special weight when in front of three of these last month; Vekoma gets turf winners; is respected.

Julita

Jockey: Luis Rivera Jr Trainer: David Duggan Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -38

Comment: Split a number of these rivals when beaten 6l in eighth last month in a maiden special weight; likely to be a threat as shown some ability on occasion and she could be more streetwise here.

Inamorata

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Christophe Clement Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 0

Comment: Beaten 8l to finish tenth on debut over C&D when she was behind several of these rivals at 14-1 29 days ago; sire gets turf winners; one to take seriously with a little experience under her belt.

Bodegas

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: James H Bond Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to 6f winner Cerretta; recent workouts point to readiness; sire gets turf winners; warrants respect with signs of encouragement in profile.

Broken Zipper

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Melanie Giddings Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: -355

Comment: Beaten a fair way when fifth five weeks ago in a maiden claimer; three-race maiden but has managed to finish third; now tackles shorter distance.

Lollipops

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Jorge Abreu Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 7

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 6l) on her debut over C&D at 8-1 last month; should be better for that run.
