In depth
Verdict
The veteran PHAROH JAKE arrives in fine form and ran well again here last time having returned a clear winner over track and trip before that. Another bold bid is expected in this lower grade. Storm Trooper has been threatening a return to winning ways without actually doing so and Amazing Amaya has a couple of placed efforts to recommend her. Hurricane Alert can get involved if in the mood and the less-exposed Skip To My Lou may improve on her first start since October.
