FARASI LANE again hinted that he could be about to capitalise on the handicapper's mercy when third over C&D last month and the 8-y-o is taken to deliver on that promise. City of God came up short in Class 2 turf handicaps on his final two starts of 2025 but he showed plenty on the all-weather last winter and rates the clear main danger ahead of Epictetus.
