After going through the card with six winners at the last meeting, few will want to bet against Doug Watson though Cosmo Kramer didn't distinguish himself on his debut here. LAA BAAS is by Preakness winner Oxboy who has made a fine start with his first runners. He's bred for the Dirt and made a highly satisfactory debut here last month so looks the one to beat. Commanding is bred for speed and is a half-brother to Redcar winner Lady Dauphin so looks one to keep an eye on as is the speedily-bred Ababil.
