A wide-open contest though Total Tap was beaten at this level last month having won lower grade claimers either side. Coltrane won in this grade last month and Blue Sky Kowboy is looking to bounce back having landed a stakes race at Hawthorne in 2019. Robert Hess has a strong hand running both Dubby Dubbie, who drops in class, and FRENCH GETAWAY. But the latter ships-in from Santa Anita having scored at the latter track in February and may just edge this. The reserves Serve The King and Bird’s Eye View are others to consider if making the line-up.
