This looks something of a non-event as JAKKALBERRY gets a pipe-opener before presumably heading for Meydan where he won a Group 2 race last March. Marco Botti's charge will find today's trip on the short-side, but rated 115, he should get away with it in this company. Come On Blue Chip is a decent all-weather handicapper and recorded his fifth win here when scoring over track and trip last time. He's clear of Excellent Puck, engaged to run here yesterday, at the weights, which leaves Bix to pick up the remaining prize money for finishing fourth.
