Doctor Jazz won a seller over 2m here earlier in the week though this isn’t much tougher despite carrying a penalty and he can figure again. But ENMESHING finished in front of Tulane when placed at the track last month and won over 1m4f here five days ago. He’s scored off higher marks in the past and another bold bid is expected. Earthly slips further down the weights looking for his first win since 2017 while Butterfield hasn’t won anywhere yet after 19 outings.
