VEGAS KITTEN appears to hold most of the aces in what looks a decent contest on paper. Mark Casse’s gelding won here in March and was well clear of Maryland Pride and Go Away when chasing home New Year last month. Joyful Heart had just over a length to spare over Extra Extra when successful here last time and The Green Mo’ster continues to run well and shouldn’t be far away. C C Rider had some decent form last year but has an absence to overcome and is 0-6 on Turf.
