Plenty to consider here but FOLK PAGEANT is very much going the right way in handicaps over this trip and a 6 lb rise for her latest win may well be within her compass. Hell Yeah He Did is one of the unknown quantities to some extent but along with Starlight Time, is expected to make up into a better 3-y-o.
