Forecasts

Knicks Go (15/8), Complexity (4/1), Art Collector (4/1), Sharp Samurai (9/1), War Of Will (10/1), Owendale (14/1), Mr Freeze (18/1), Silver Dust (28/1), Rushie (28/1), Pingxiang (30/1), Mr. Money (33/1), Pirate's Punch (40/1), Jesus' Team (50/1)

Verdict

COMPLEXITY produced a big career best when stepped back up to 1m in the Kelso Handicap at Belmont last time and a reproduction of that could be good enough to see him prevail here. Knicks Go looked a much improved performer for new trainer Brad Cox when blitzing his field in an optional claimer over C&D last time and can provide the chief threat ahead of Blue Grass winner Art Collector.
