Cloudbased has been gelded since failing to figure in hot contests at Belmont Park and Saratoga last summer. - he could be a different proposition this year. Cask has also been gelded since last seen but probably lacks the same scope, though his yard’s runners usually attract market support in races like this. DANCERONTHEBEACH has yet to finish out of the frame so has the form in the book. Though he’s probably not improved on his debut second, he may still have too much for Empty Holster and the others.
