Kupuri had been looking a light of former years prior to be dropped into this grade last time and finding only one too good. Celestial Orb and Adonai Bless could also play a part at this level while U Know I B Lion finished well ahead of Sonoma Storm and Thirty Nine Seven here last month. TAKIN IT EASY is arguably better over a bit further but she had excuses last time and could mow these down in the closing stages if Harry Hernandez can find her some cover along the back stretch.
