Assessment of Runners
The race revolves around established Listed form, progressive sprinters and a high-class returning performer. Moss Tucker is the standout on pure ability if ready to roll, while Bucanero Fuerte and King Cuan bring strong recent and course credentials. Cardiff By The Sea is an improving 3yo with upside, and Thunderbear has proven Listed form at the track under suitable conditions. Bodhi Bear, Fahrenheit Seven and Getreadytorumble are all upwardly mobile types but need another step forward at this level. The remainder—Big Gossey, Bonus Time, Erosandpsyche, Gazelle d’Or, Kerdos, Likedbymike, Mission Central and Unique Journey—all require clear improvement to feature in a race of this depth.
