It's difficult to look past BEGGARMAN in his current form. He's improved tackling this trip on polytrack this autumn and can continue that progression tonight with another victory. Love Poems steps up in trip after her win over 14f here last month and may pose the biggest threat. Socially Shady has to be considered too.
