Verdict

A smart handicap to conclude. BLUE MIST has a good record fresh so he gets the nod to make a successful return from wind surgery under Ryan Moore, who is 2-2 on him. The low-mileage Path of Thunder and John Best's Plantadream may give him most to do but it is a contest where a case can be made for quite a few.

  1. BLUE MIST
  2. PATH OF THUNDER (IRE)
  3. PLANTADREAM
