Verdict

CASANOVA is in top form and, having found one too good on his last couple of starts, he's worth a chance to go one better. Lexington Dash was well on top at the finish at Fairyhouse last time, so he's considered a danger, while fellow last-time-out winner On A Session has made a long trip over and should be competitive.

  1. CASANOVA
  2. LEXINGTON DASH (FR)
  3. ON A SESSION (USA)
