A poor claiming race can go to FAST ONE. The latter has yet to live up to his name though he has the strongest form in this judged on his efforts in better races at Gulfstream and gets a tentative vote. Gruffandtough wasn’t beaten far at Fair Meadows when last seen in action and may figure on his reappearance while the likes of Shawn Again and Kris Me Deadly have struggled recently but this drop in class may bring an upturn in form.
