The Hogan team are dealing an especially strong hand here with a trio of leading contenders and choosing between them is not easy. However, both Cyrus Dallin and Kasbah have nothing to hide from the handicapper nowadays and are probably where the assessor wants them to be. They both continue to perform consistently though and should be in the shake-up but stable companion NEVER RAINS is preferred as she ran really well on a first start for the yard after moving from the Stack operation when a good second at Gowran after not the most straightforward of passages. She should have more to come as a late-maturing three-year-old. Youceeyouceecee is a course and distance winner who arrives in good form and is the most likely to spoil the Hogan party.
