Verdict

WITHOUT PAROLE could still be anything at this point in his career and given his first two wins have been in such comfortable fashion, he could be hard to beat here. Gabr ran well in the Racint Post Trophy last year and will appreciate the drop in class while stablemate Regal Reality isn't ruled out with significant improvement likely and Ryan Moore in the saddle.
  1. Without Parole
