Verdict
Road Rager has past form at this level but finished behind Rather Nosy and the runner-up ETERNAL ENDEAVOUR in this grade back in December. The latter could only manage fourth over a longer trip on the Turf last time but should be back to her best returning to the main track and that may prove good enough in this company. She’s A Dime ships-in from Oaklawn having won a lower grade contest last month while Pink Scatillac drops down in distance having won a maiden over the extended mile at Keeneland last year.
