If STRATHCLYDE takes to the poly he could go all the way. He has class form and has earned his weight. From gate one he should be hard to peg back. OFFICER IN COMMAND found his last race a bit far. He was in good form prior and should make a race of it over this distance. SPELLING BEE is proving costly to follow. He didn't enjoy frontrunning in his last start and should step up from that effort. GIAMBATTISTA keeps on beating the handicapper. He has drawn well but will need to produce even more in what is his toughest assignment to date. PARMENION is not one to take lightly.
