In depth
Verdict
Gebora is taken to get back on the winning trail he won well on his debut and then was a fair sixth in a better race behind Tragic Ohio last time. If he handles this faster ground he will be hard to beat. One More Native rates the main danger he was a fair fourth behind Music To My Ears last time and a reproduction of that form would see him go close. Wakeup Smiling was sent off for a similar contest last time but could only finish third. He is obviously thought capable of better and he should be noted in the market. Dandy Lad finished in mid-division on his debut. He is from a a yard that has a good record in these contests and he is sure to improve. Of the newcomers Super Road Train is a gelding by Petoski and he is worth a cautionary look in the market.
