PHANTOM RO, who won a better race than this at Woodbine in October, was having his first start for new connections here last month after being claimed and is expected to start paying his way. Kyle had Joe Di Baggio behind when runner-up over slightly further last time and looks best of the Carlos David pair as French Quarter has been winning in lower grade. Combination completed a hat-trick in very minor company and never really got going before staying on into third last time, again at a lower level than this.
