La Capriosa has lost her way a little after winning here back in November and stablemate INCOMPARABLE is preferred. The latter also won here late last year and has held his form well on the Polytrack since without winning. Early pace is a big plus over this C&D, as Colorus proved when making all to land a claimer here last month with Where's Reiley behind. Ridley Didley also won a claimer over C&D recently and he can confirm the form with Sharp Shoes, but Verinco could prove a bigger danger given he was progressive on the turf last season and handles this surface.
