Verdict

A handful of horses come into this in good form, but preference is for SPEED COMPANY, whose good second over C&D is a standout piece of form alone and should've held on for second at Windsor last time. With the leniency from the handicapper he should be the one to beat for a trainer seems to thrive with progressive handicappers. Durston has been much improved since stepping up in trip and is guaranteed to stay, but this is a tougher assignment for the three-year-old against his elders, despite running off a light weight. Final Rock will be sharper for this assignment and the assistantce of the visor for the first could find the necessary improvement to be competitive.
  1. Speed Company
  2. Durston
