Landed a Grade 1 handicap at Calder over 6f on dirt and is normally very consistent. Over three lengths behind Informed Decision last time but staying on over the extended 6f and should get closer this time. Current odds 20/1

Handicapper with Amanda Perrett in the UK. Joined Bobby Frankel and won this last year; warmed up for a repeat with a superb victory over a mile in a Grade 1 at Woodbine and should take all the beating. Current odds 5/4
Conclusion Without doubt Ventura so impressive last year is again the one to beat and the one im siding with. So Selections is Ventura 6/5 |
