Breslin carries 6lb extra for Tuesday's course and distance win but should go well again. OPERA BARON also scored over 7f here last time on his first start since June. Expected to stay this longer trip, Sylvester Kirk's charge is preferred to a similar type in Key On Kodiac and gets the nod. Captain Gerald went close at Chelmsford last month while Jassur has shown little so far but may improve now handicapping for the first time.
