Ruby Cottage, Cable Guy and Quarter Blue all make handicap debuts and are preferred in that order, although the market will probably provide the best guide to their respective chances. Campachoochoo is joint topweight but has a somewhat inconsistent profile and is hard to get an accurate handle on. Mutasallem shares topweight but also has a pretty random profile and therefore we'll go along with HOLBACHE, who has displayed steady if unspectacular improvement over four starts this term. The promising Mollie Phillips takes off a valuable 7lb. Moonshiner disappointed the last day but two previous placed efforts bring her into calculations.
