Verdict

A handful of horses come into this in good form, but preference is for SPEED COMPANY, whose good second over C&D is a standout piece of form alone and should've held on for second at Windsor last time. With the leniency from the handicapper he should be the one to beat for a trainer seems to thrive with progressive handicappers. Durston has been much improved since stepping up in trip and is guaranteed to stay, but this is a tougher assignment for the three-year-old against his elders, despite running off a light weight. Final Rock will be sharper for this assignment and the assistantce of the visor for the first could find the necessary improvement to be competitive.
  1. Speed Company
