This is a virtual re-run of a similar course and distance event a month ago won by Plato O Plomo though it's unlikely to be run at such a breakneck pace. The winner came through late and had a bit in hand of Stricker with Fight On, who has been well beaten in a subsequent Group 3, 5 lengths back in third and Captain Von Trapp, who chased the early leader before weakening, in fourth. Moqarrar landed a non-Carnival handicap at the beginning of the month and generally struggles in this company but BEHAVIORAL BIAS is well up to this grade. Satish Seemar's charge hasn't won since his debut at Saratoga in 2017 but has been racing in Group 3 company and strong handicaps with his second to Midnight Sands over 7f last week suggesting he's ready to score again.
