YES I SEE can defy an outside draw and gain a deserved first victory of the year. Peter Walder’s veteran blew the start last time but still finished third and can reverse that form with Il Faraone. Gran Greyfrost looked to be improving around the turn of the year but may need this but Trappezoid is on a roll and was much too strong for Dexter Road here in February. Blakey returned to winning ways over track and trip last month but this looks a stronger heat.
