KATMAI RIVER is the selection given he's won in heavy ground on turf and has been in good form on the all-weather recently. Huzzah and Do More Business went close on the Polytrack on their penultimate starts and could figure with similar efforts but Cristaliyev has a bit to find with the latter on earlier running. Basle has yet to score over 6f but Cuthbert has tumbled down the weights this year and will be looking to take advantage.
