      Verdict

      CLIFFSIDE PARK will likely be a short price for this seller as he’s already won three times in this grade this year and none of his rivals arrive in any sort of form. Friendship Bay was only fifth in this last year and isn’t getting any younger while Akula was only seventh two years ago. Ninepointsixthree has been chasing and was showing little over hurdles before that.
