Verdict

RUN FORREST RUN has to overcome a 9 lb higher mark for his Cork win 11 days ago but that looks fully justified given the manner of that success so he may well be up to the task. Mark's Bear stopped the slide last time and a case can definitely be made for him from a handicapping perspective, with Half Nutz another to consider.
