Verdict

RIVER TIBER was unable to go with Vandeek in the Prix Morny last time but he'd reportedly missed some work prior to that and, given how promising he'd looked beforehand, he's worth a chance to reverse form with his old rival in a race that the pair may dominate. The unbeaten Task Force is a big player for all that he's stepping up markedly in grade.
