Mubhij and Rock Boy Grey are likely candidates on form and granted a bit of improvement. The former was restless in the stalls before underperforming and a line can be drawn through that run. Nevertheless, the owner's colours are also sported by ALGAFFAAL who is a well-bred newcomer for a powerful yard with an excellent record here with this age group. The $450,000 purchase may be up to winning what appears an average contest.
