Another contest that looks to be dominated by those at the top of the handicap. Capture The Drama looks likely to put his latest effort behind him and make a bold bid while Zekarya could put his latest run behind him take a hand but my preference is for FINAL GIFT who could build on several recent worthy efforts and prevail.
