Verdict

A change of race for the curtain-raiser to the Turf Flat season and it's KNIGHT who gets the nod to come out on top back on a more conventional track for his seasonal return. Both his best efforts came when the mud was flying last season, so he's taken ahead of Charyn, who failed to get his head in front last season but was campaigned solely in pattern company. Last year's winner Astral Beau should relish conditions so she can fill out third.
