Verdict
A race thin on quality and FORT JEFFERSON may be worth chancing, with conditions and trip ideal and now that he has dropped back into this grade. Fantasy Queen can't be ruled out, while Tony Carroll's pair Poetic Force and Jet Setter are possibles for some prize money. Many Dreams and Beepeecee are others with a squeak if on a going day.
