Wilshire Dude and STUDLY PERFECTION both have solid claims in this. The latter can probably be forgiven his first run for Jonathan Wong when behind the former, Rob’s Lucky Spirit and Carolina Island here last month as he’d won his previous two in good style. Steven Miyadi’s charge is a big danger, however, as he runs his best races here and has only found one too good the last twice. Eldritch can’t be ignored either as he is taking a big drop in grade and he makes more appeal than King Eddie, who is upped in class.
