AMOR FATI wasn't disgraced in a competitive encounter last time. He is bred for the longer trip and could be right there to the end. KOLA TONIC has shown decent ability and may be looking for the distance. He could be even better after gelding but may just need it. There wasn't much separating ACTOR and CLAUDE MONET on debut and both are open to any amount of improvement. RED MOUNTAIN is dropping in distance. He has shown the kind of form needed to win a race like this.
