Cappadocia has had 31 starts but only one over the minimum trip back in 2012. He's been running well and battled on gamely to score over an extra furlong here a couple of weeks ago when ACROLEINA was a very close fourth and is weighted to turn the tables. The latter has also been narrowly beaten by Boughtforasong and Rigid Rock this year but has reversed the form with both and is taken to carry her big weight to victory.
