Verdict

Quite a few in this race are open to improvement and PIKE COUNTY did enough last year to suggest he might be ready to make hay now having been given time to strengthen up. Sky Marshal ran well at Galway and again has decent claims, while Aliym has shown ability and another bold show is anticipated. Lake Chad, Blanketontheground and Westernerona are others worth noting for any positive market signals.
  1. Pike County
  2. Aliym
  3. Sky Marshal
