A typically wide-open, big-field handicap in which BIGZ BELIEF gets the nod to come out on top. A modest maiden on the Flat, there has been much more to like about his exploits in juvenile hurdles and he can make use of his handy 4-y-o allowance now his sights are set on handicaps. Tramore-winner Shakeytry and the returning Aarons Day are also considered, along with Baltimore Bucko.
