A very competitive handicap but it's still hard to see past SUNRAY MAJOR who was a convincing winner in a big field over 7f here on his recent handicap debut and can take the next step up the ladder now. His stablemate King Leonidas is another low-mileage sort who should have more to offer so he's feared most ahead of Nugget.
