        In depth

        Verdict

        Drefong bids to repeat last year’s success in this and was back to his best when beating a subsequent winner four lengths in the Grade 1 Forego at Saratoga in August. He should confirm running with Mind Your Biscuits despite the latter not getting a clear run last time but others pose a real threat with ROY H of particular interest. The latter has been in scintillating form this year and was pushed wide by a loose horse when suffering his only defeat in five outings. He picked-up his first Grade 1 sprint at Santa Anita last month and Peter Miller’s sprinter is preferred to another progressive type in Imperial Hint. The latter is undefeated in lesser company in 2017 and we’ll find out if he’s up to this level today while the unexposed three-year-old Takaful posted his best effort so far to win the Grade 1 Vosburgh at Belmont in September and is not out of this either.
