Verdict

SARAQAEL has improved with each of his three starts, most recently landing a big-field Galway maiden in ready fashion, and there could be more to come from this unexposed 3-y-o now upped in trip for this handicap debut. He earns the vote ahead of Bowerman, who has been operating below his best in recent months but is now 5 lb lower than when scoring over C&D in February and is 7-15 on the all-weather.
