STARSONUS (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in five of six starts to date and strikes a very winnable contest here. Gets the deadly Gollan/Maloney combination and should go very close to shedding the maiden tag here. FIRST MAN (5) has finished runner-up at the past couple and looks to be nearing that elusive maiden victory. Looms as the main danger. MISS HIGHFALUTIN (10) has hit the top-five in all three career outings to date and will be at peak fitness for this. Top-three aspirations. ABOVEFORTY (3) resumes here but has tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and must be respected from the Waller yard. Presents some value and is in the mix while fresh. FRATIANNO (6) best of the rest from the inside marble.
