The Pesi Shroff-trained Notoriety, who went down to stable mate Sea The Dream two weeks ago, will be strongly fancied for the Mayor's Trophy, the feature event of Thursday's seven-race card. However, the four-year-old filly, the youngest animal in the fray, may face serious threat from older horses--especially Fleur De Lys & Lucky Luciano--who are capable of turning in dramatically improved performances over the 2,000m trip.

Fleur De Lys is the horse of interest for me as the five-year-old mare has been running forward races to get into the kind of condition and fitness which could come in handy for this type of contest.
