Verdict: PRINCE OF BROADWAY was behind Street Sue latest but can now overturn placings and can build on a promising debut run. Ella Grace and Louezza could also have a role to play.

Ella Grace

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: George Weaver Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Stable capable of preparing a newcomer to win; related to Grade 3 winner Runninsonofagun; sire gets her share of decent sorts; has a competitive shout.

Louezza

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Edward Allard Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Having first race; sire can produce useful types; would be a surprise to see this one figure.

Street Sue

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Melanie Giddings Age/Wt: 2/8-2 F: 2

Comment: Went down by 2½l when runner-up at the first time of asking (at Belmont At The Big A over 5f) at 7-1 last month; hard to see her getting off the mark second time up.

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 5

Comment: Beaten 8l to finish fifth on debut (here, 5f) at 13-1 last month; Mark Casse two-year-olds are going well; will need to progress to get off the mark.

Prince Of Broadway

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 3

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten 4½l) on her debut (5f, here) at 85-40 28 days ago; from powerful yard and related to Stakes winner Honey I'm Good; the stable is going well; if building on promise shown first time out likely to give a strong account.

Comment: Stable can ready one; has a nice pedigree (by Mckinzie); might be one for another day; market may guide.

Verdict: MAYOR OF MIDNIGHT is fancied for this. He will be in the wings should the leaders go off too fast and has displayed a good attitude recently. Fateful Lightning and De la Cruz should also be in the mix.

Extraordinary One

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: Edmund Davis Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 95-2

Comment: Has shown some recent improvement; turned in a solid effort in defeat two weeks ago, when second at Finger Lakes in a maiden special weight; stepping up in trip and can be taken on.

De La Cruz

Comment: Has found improvement of late and this is his level; out of the frame (beaten just under 4l in fourth) in a maiden special weight when separating a number of reopposing rivals five weeks ago; deserves respect.

Comment: Finished ahead of three of these over 1m1½f here (maiden special weight) when beaten just over 1l to finish runner-up last month; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; likely player if replicating most recent run.

Marco T.

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: Miguel Clement Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 225-4

Comment: A C&D winner; useful in this grade; not beaten too far (2½l) over 5f at Gulfstream Park (allowance optional claimer) two months ago; one to take seriously as shown she can win fairly recently and the longer distance is likely to help.

Comment: Fourth beaten 5l over 1m here (allowance optional claimer, problems in the gate at the start) in October; successful twice in her last six starts; hit the bar in a stakes 12 months ago; returning from a layoff here; one to take seriously as she has defied a similar absence in the past.

Harlan's Bond

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Ilkay Kantarmaci Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 263633

Comment: Recent efforts have generally been solid; no longer appears to be improving; far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l, sloppy track) when back to this distance on debut for this trainer a week ago in a claimer; in for a $45k tag so up in class ($17.5k last time).

Mighty Atlas

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: B Cox Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 8-4214

Comment: Hails from a good trainer and likes it here (three wins); fair effort (beaten 5l) over 1m here (allowance optional claimer) last month when just behind My Last Mission; a leading contender.

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: NOGUCHI could be the main beneficiary if the front runners go too fast and looks the pick of the newcomers. Cuando and Spiced Up should also be considered.

Hot Lead

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Blue Point) and four-race maiden though does have a third place to his name; beaten 24l in seventh in a maiden special weight (muddy track) when dropped down to this trip last month; he can be taken on.

Spiced Up

Jockey: Junior Alvarado Trainer: William Mott Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire gets turf winners; nicely bred (by Quality Road); not disgraced in fourth (sloppy track, Churchill Downs) in November in a maiden special weight; returns from an absence here; warrants respect as pleasing in workout last week and his pedigree offers room to progress.

Snare

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Robert Ribaudo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 57-

Comment: Beaten 23l in seventh over 7f at Aqueduct (maiden special weight, sloppy track) in December; this son of Vekoma looks the part on breeding; has had some time off; likely to go well now that he knows his job and has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come.

Noguchi

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Trainer does well here with debutants; related to Grade 2 winner Following Sea; arguably the one to beat as some good aspects to his profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Private Flight

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: Mark Hennig Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: More Than Ready gets winners on the turf; sibling of Sugar Hi (5½f winner); this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise against rivals with form already in the book.

Got Stripes

Jockey: Luis Rivera Jr Trainer: Cherie Devaux Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -8

Comment: Didn't offer much on his debut in Churchill Downs maiden special weight over 1m½f at 9-1 three weeks ago; nicely bred (by Without Parole); potential to improve; down in trip here.

Comment: Has been consistent of late and seems to be improving based on last two runs; close up runner-up in a maiden special weight (muddy track) last month (had two of these rivals behind); recent display was promising so can't be ruled out.

Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; scored narrowly in a maiden claimer dropped back in distance when registering her first success at the fifth time of asking 34 days ago; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with; may find this tougher stepping up from maiden claiming level others have more pressing claims.

Comment: Ended losing run last month in an allowance race; definitely of interest.

Delightful Flame

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: David Duggan Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 611-

Comment: Bidding for a hat-trick and has made an impressive start to her career with two wins from three starts; landed a narrow success in an allowance race at Ellis Park last July; first run in claiming company; returns from a break here; big chance.

Mendrel

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 1/441

Comment: Winner of two of her four career starts and represents top yard; got home in front by three-quarters of a length in a claimer on debut for this handler (Pimlico) last month; has to be taken seriously.

Cdakhat

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Gary Sciacca Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 48131

Comment: Got across to lead from a wide draw when winning by a head in a claimer (muddy track) last month; on target twice in her last three outings; despite that Belmont At The Big A success, hard enough to fancy.

Lady D'oro

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Michael Pino Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 60-2

Comment: Behind Mendrel 40 days ago when beaten three-quarters of a length (Pimlico) in a claimer; in with a shout if backing up last run.

Broadway Lights

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Michael Maker Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 1-234

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth six weeks ago in an optional claimer; competitive shout as she knows how to get her head in front and in off a lower claiming tag.

Bam's Bliss Kiss

Jockey: Luis Rivera Jr Trainer: David Duggan Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 8-2164

Comment: Last of four in an allowance optional claimer (muddy track) 28 days ago; last two runs were below standard set by success three runs ago; can make a bold bid.

Dashing Della

Jockey: Jose Gomez Trainer: Marcelo Arenas Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 326322

Comment: Went close at 11-1, managing to get across to lead from stall seven last month (muddy track) in a claimer; doesn't win often and may have reached limits of her ability; class riser as runs for a $40k tag here; unlikely to make a serious impact as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

La Grotte

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Raymond Handal Age/Wt: 5/8-6 F: 5446

Comment: Been generally quiet since successful in a claimer at Aqueduct in February; finished last of six at Aqueduct two months ago in a claimer; claiming tag now upped from $16k; is passed over with a few rivals in good form.
