In depth

Verdict

This feature race looks wide-open though Admission Office and War Of Will have been done favours by the draw. Todd Pletcher has a strong hand represented by both Halladay and the recent Grade 3 winner Social Paranoia but a chance is taken on EL TORMENTA (NAP) returning to form. He finished well behind Social Paranoia here when drawn out wide on his reappearance but it’s hard to get away from last year’s surprise victory in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile and Gail Cox’s charge has leading claims on that form. Aquaphobia could go well with Irad Ortiz taking over the reins and Hawkish had bits of form at this level last year.
