Joseph O’Brien has trained the last two winners of this and runs three today with ISOTOPE preferred. The latter has improved with every start in maiden company here and further progress is expected now handicapping. He’s preferred to stable companions Tigray and Ifyouhaveaminute with the latter finishing behind third-placed Tessiesee over 6f here last time. Burning Lake and Me Well are closely matched on latest running over track and trip when filling the places behind Calling Time. Cuban Hope is another handicapping for the first time on his reappearance and should be noted for Jim Bolger’s yard.
