Tracked leading pair, close up in 2nd 3 out, poised to challenge after next, 2 lengths down when ridden and one pace approaching last, kept on, unable to get on terms with winner flat op 4/6 tchd 1/2 and tchd 8/11
There is little to separate CAIUS MARCIUS and Okotoks on form with both similarly rated over hurdles. The going is currently described as good but there is a fear that without rain it could ride faster than ideal for the latter. The selection was runner-up at Perth when conditions were quicker than advertised and he gains a marginal call on that basis.
