There may be more to come fromSIMPLY LUCKY, who has won twice and been placed once from four starts for his new yard. This is a slightly tougher assignment but the gelding has a proven liming for this course and gest nod ahead of Boethius, who is on a roll for Richard Johnson and has to be feared as a live danger, while For Jim and Seven Nation Army are others that merit respect.
