In depth

Verdict

MEILLEUR was only beaten a neck over this track and trip last month, finishing ahead of Indian Gulch and Browns Gap. He found himself outpaced over 7f subsequently in a race in which The Kahn finished third but can come out on top today back over his best distance. Gran Greyfrost won over a mile at Gulfstream Park in January and probably needed his run last month. He should handle the change of venue so looks a danger but the step up in trip is a worry for Karma King and Jimmy D appears to have gone off the boil.
