Sounds like you're on Jazil, who has a late runners chance. Could be Cause to Believe though. Assuming its Jazil, I'm not seeing a perfect rail trip on a fatiguing track. Churchill is generally fair. If it come ups gooey I'll consider moving him up.

I thought last years pace would be hot, but couldn't come up with that winner. This year, it will be a warm pace but theres gonna be a ton of ground to close trying to steer a good path and CtB's breeding does not enrapture me. Jazil is better bred, but even more lead footed perhaps.

No comment upon the weather, but I have another prediction for you: Jazil will not make up the Wood ground upon Bob and John.
