The betting suggested CAPOFARO would go close over track and trip in classified company last time and he duly obliged. There may be more to come from him handicapping for the first time in this along with Croqueta and Milistorm. The former has the more recent form and the latter steps up in distance while Cauthen will need to improve on earlier attempts over today’s trip after placing over 7f here last week. Sonnetina ended last year with a better effort here and could go well.
