Verdict

Bob Baffert has won three of the last four renewals of this race and the consistent West Coast has proven himself at this level and has solid each-way claims. However, the unexposed Jonathan Thomas trained CATHOLIC BOY is preferred after his four length success over Mendelssohn in the Travers Stakes last time. He gives the impression he is still improving with every run and three year olds have a good recent record in this. Mendelssohn and Thunder Snow look the best of the European challenge and the former is preferred for the places after a fine effort in defeat last time out.
