In depth
Verdict
Woodboro Minstrel will never have a better chance to lose his maiden tag. Anne Duffield's colt is nothing special, but then neither are any of his rivals. Lay Down Sally has had plenty of chances and should pick up some place money, while Superapparos is ideally drawn to make use of his early pace.
