Box Seat finished runner-up on his first visit to this venue and has a shout. He finished in front of Whiskey Factor on that occasion, who was beaten further by Just Ask Joel at Houston before that. But the latter has an unfavourable draw today and stable companion TAPSOLUTION is preferred. Steve Asmussen’s colt never threatened when fourth at Houston on his debut but that was in a 50K maiden race and he should find life easier at this lower level with normal progress.
