In depth

Verdict

Complexity warmed up nicely for this with a Grade 2 victory at Belmont and looks sure to figure. Knicks Go has been winning low-key races as he liked but faces a much tougher test today and so does stablemate Owendale. Art Collector beat Rushie in a Grade 2 here during the summer but disappointed in the Preakness last month so a chance is taken on the 2019 Preakness winner WAR OF WILL. Mark Casse’s colt won a Grade 1 contest on the Turf track here in July and reverts to Dirt on the back of a third in the Woodbine Mile. Sharp Samurai and Mr Freeze are mostly consistent at a lower level but have so far come up short in this grade.
