1 (1)	A Thousand Miles ch Mike E Smith · Vann Belvoir	Mike E Smith · Vann Belvoir	124	—	167021	-	117	-	34d	—	—	—	13.5	—
No surprise to see her go well; clear-cut success last month.
2 (2)	Will Then b Flavien Prat · Jonathan Thomas	Flavien Prat · Jonathan Thomas	124	—	153565	-	124	-	36d	—	—	—	0.9	—
Jockey does well from inside draws here so poses a threat.
3 (3)	Cliffs b Jose L Ortiz · Cherie DeVaux	Jose L Ortiz · Cherie DeVaux	124	—	35121	-	-	-	52d	—	—	—	19.1	—
Should not be far away; successful twice in her last three starts.
4 (4)	Ambaya ch Antonio Fresu · Jonathan Thomas	Antonio Fresu · Jonathan Thomas	124	—	12324	-	-	-	34d	—	—	—	8.5	—
Out of the places last month; longer trip presents a different challenge.
5 (5)	Slick gr/ro Umberto Rispoli · Philip D'Amato	Umberto Rispoli · Philip D'Amato	124	—	1-3615	-	123	-	64d	—	—	—	7	—
This line-up contains some strong opposition so hard enough to fancy.
6 (6)	Take A Breath b Irad Ortiz Jr · Mark Glatt	Irad Ortiz Jr · Mark Glatt	124	—	11-406	-	124	98	64d	—	—	—	0	—
This looks a fair heat so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.
7 (7)	Resolve b/br Diego A Herrera · Leonard Powell	Diego A Herrera · Leonard Powell	124	b	040352	-	115	-	35d	—	—	—	6.5	—

8 (8)	Totally Justified b Juan J Hernandez · Anna Meah	Juan J Hernandez · Anna Meah	124	—	527596	-	121	-	66d	—	—	—	1	—
If replicating best previous efforts looks a likely player.
9 (9)	As Catch Can b/br Joel Rosario · Jonathan Thomas	Joel Rosario · Jonathan Thomas	124	—	-22461	-	123	-	114d	—	—	—	12.5	—

10 (10)	Atsila b Tiago Josue Pereira · Richard Baltas	Tiago Josue Pereira · Richard Baltas	124	—	176836	-	127	119	86d	—	—	—	2.1	—
Inaugural race in this jurisdiction so be interesting to see what the market makes of her.
