Verdict: MEDIA SENSATION looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and has been running consistently well. Soulmate and Hemlo Gold are also of interest.

Good Sin

Jockey: Ryan Munger Trainer: Beverley Chubb Age/Wt: 4/8-9 F: 651-17

Comment: Wins-runs record of 3-10; finished last of seven in an allowance optional claimer last month upped to 1m1f; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Jockey: Austin Adams Trainer: Debra Rombis Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 4310-6

Mad Dog N Joe

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Austin Hinds Age/Wt: 7/8-6 F: 755-56

Comment: Found life tough when 6l back in sixth upped to 7½f four weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; generally modest form since optional claimer success at Woodbine last August and possible he has reached the ceiling of his ability; others more likely as no longer in his pomp.

Nonno's Little Boy

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: W Armata Age/Wt: 7/8-9 F: 69152-

Comment: Admirably consistent and his tally of course-and-distance wins stands at three; solid effort when beaten just under 3l to finish second upped to 1m4f behind Soulmate in December in an optional claimer; has had some time off; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and others have more pressing claims.

Soulmate

Jockey: Rafael Hernandez Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 9/8-11 F: 1-4115

Comment: No real encouragement to be gleaned after finishing fifth here over 1m1f (allowance optional claimer) last month; smart performer at his pomp and has proven competitive in a race of this nature; looks likely to be involved.

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Martin Drexler Age/Wt: 6/8-6 F: 3-3343

Jockey: Juan Crawford Trainer: Beverley Chubb Age/Wt: 8/8-9 F: 177-63

Royal Hudson

Jockey: Xarel Forde Trainer: Danny Yu Age/Wt: 5/7-13 F: 88-614

Comment: She meets the required standard ability wise; fair effort when beaten 4½l at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (claimer) in March; has had some time off; she is the only mare in this; capable if in the mood so expected to be in the thick of things.

Verdict: JUPITER rates a strong recommendation. He could cash in if the leaders go too fast and has won over this C&D, while Casson and Rude Procedure are also respected.

Valley Of Kings

Jockey: Pietro Moran Trainer: Josie Carroll Age/Wt: 2/8-6

Comment: Bred to get better with time; related to 6f winner Splashy Kisses; newcomer by Classic Empire; Josie Carroll team does well at Woodbine with debutants; whether he'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Rude Procedure

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 2/8-10 F: 1

Comment: Held fifth of seven but was making her first appearance three weeks ago here; work to do with Classic Discovery (fourth) on that showing; looks the part on breeding (by Collected) and related to Stakes winner Winterberry; she should go close as appeals from a breeding angle and the penny could well drop today.

Talbot's Riplyn

Jockey: Fraser Aebly Trainer: Josie Carroll Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 4-

Yorkton Rose

Jockey: Leo Salles Trainer: Sid Attard Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 878-9

Comment: Nicely bred (by Yorkton) but attempting to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking (seventh her best finish so far); could not manage better than ninth in a maiden special weight when dropped to 7f 28 days ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Comment: Split Xarabella and Sunlit when fifth last month in a maiden special weight; has a nice pedigree (by Constitution) and not yet off the mark in three attempts although has finished third; in first-time blinkers now; Josie Carroll's runners are going great guns at the moment; in with a shout as she was strong in the market last time.

Abdul

Blitz

Jockey: Ryan Munger Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 4/8-10 F: 1/37-0

Comment: Was tailed off at Gulfstream Park in March in an allowance optional claimer; easy to see her making an impression if able to run to the same level as her last win.

Verdict: Firm preference is for EVER DANGEROUS. He could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and is a one-time course winner, while Roscar represents a threat.

Junipero Serra

Jockey: Sahin Civaci Trainer: Mark Casse Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 356-6

Comment: Beaten a long way at Gulfstream Park over 1m4f (allowance optional claimer, problems in the gate at the start) five months ago; specialist here with three wins; has had some time off; Sahin Civaci will be looking to further their good record; should not be far away as return to this trip should be in his favour.

Jockey: Jose Campos Trainer: Harold Ladouceur Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 121-46

Malibu Mambo

Jockey: David Moran Trainer: Michael Doyle Age/Wt: 8/8-11 F: 107-76

Comment: Winner of five races at this venue but been generally quiet since successful in an allowance optional claimer at Woodbine in September; not beaten that far in sixth (just under 5l) over 1m½f here (allowance optional claimer) last month; hard to entertain as now looks to be past his prime.

Jockey: Fraser Aebly Trainer: Roger Attfield Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 80561
