Im hoping Fabulous Strike wins this. I think he is almost a vulnerable fan favorite. He just needs to win this and enter into a tough race.

There are some factors against him today - the extra furlong, Prado, other dominant speed... but Strike showed maturity in the Gravesend and then put in a quality 6furlong work 6days ago. Fresh off the winter break. Worth a small bet on Snowden, but I'm not going bananas today.

Hopefully class will tell and carry Strike through a solid win. True Quality should fall apart and Snowden is going to take the slow and steady approach under a strong Jeremy Rose.

Maybe I shouldn't have laughed when Paragallo compared him to Artax. Although, I think Pink Viper would have won if he set those fractions.

Wasn't that his last good horse?
