BLUE SANS gave the impression there was more in the tank if required when winning over C&D 27 days ago, and looks leniently treated following a 3-lb rise, especially with the performance backed up by the clock. She can go in again, likely at the main expense of fellow C&D winner Translink, who remains unexposed at this trip. I'm So Busy has been thriving this summer and merits respect, also.
