RACE SUMMARY:

GETABUCK might be worth siding with to build on a good runner-up effort over 17f here last month. Royal Ruby hasn’t been seen for a while but it’s interesting that top connections persevere and he’s a likely threat now chasing. It’s also too soon to write off Time To Move On, who also tackles fences for the first time having switched yards.
