CTC--I love to tell you Super Frolic hasn't run his best yet, that he has another move in him. I suppose it's possible but I'm more inclined to think not. I think he did run a A race winning the Hawthorne Gold Cup. It was only 0-1/4 off his top. What I hope Super Frolic does is run his top more consistently. And actually looking at his line, Super Frolic ran within 0-1/2 point of his top 4 of 8 times last year. So maybe he does have more in him.
That said as for his chances in the World Cup, Brass Hat is obviously the horse to beat. But he ran a stratospheric figure last out and has to be vulnerable to a bounce. Electrocutionist is fast but not as fast as Super Frolic and he too enters off a 2 point new top coming back on relatively short rest. Super Frolic is reportedly training and doing well and I know nothing more along that line. He didn't handle the slop on Donn day but a lot of horses didn't fire, so he enters rested having not run a big effort for some 5 months or so. Should have his energy tanks full. After looking at the sheets, the horse I worry about is Kane Hekili who is slower and also off 1-1/4 point new top, but this guy has never bounced as far as we know and as a 4yo is still growing and developing. In my opinion, this guy definitely has another move in him, and perhaps two. At the morning line I see, I'd bet Super Frolic to win and box with Kane Hekili.
Go Super Frolic.
