MISS CUNNING is handicapped to strike and, having returned to form in a first-time visor when second here last time, she's worth a chance to go one better in a weak race for the numbers. Stablemates Beleaguerment and Caesar's Comet both arrive in reasonable form, which is more than can be said for the majority, so they're also worthy of consideration.
