Difficult to be confident about any of these though Caramelita was placed over C&D in December and has claims on that form, while Elhamri could figure if producing one of his better efforts. Bond Blade has won over the minimum trip here and makes more appeal than Transmit on this surface after a better effort last time, but it could be the turn of ITSTHURSDAYALREADY. His best recent effort came at this track and Mark Brisbourne's charge is taken to add to last year's two C&D victories in this modest company.
