Verdict

BRAVE THOUGHT has yet to get her head in front but she has improved upped to this trip the last twice, finishing runner-up in a pair of handicaps over this C&D, and she is taken to go one better this time. Secret Rock wasn't disgraced over hurdles last month and he will be a threat back on the level, provided he takes to this surface. Maura's Gift is also likely to be in the thick of things and Not Just Any Eagle will be a threat if he gets a run.
