In depth

Verdict

The winner of last year’s Woodbine Mile, El Tormenta has been done no favours by today’s high draw while Todd Pletcher may have three runners if reserve Halladay makes the line-up along with Listed winner Social Paranoia and last month’s Grade 3 winner here, Sombeyay. The latter just held on from ENGLISH BEE on that occasion but Graham Motion’s colt had to make up lots of ground drawn wider than ideal and may well reverse running if racing closer to the pace today. Louder Than Bombs and Hembree finished behind the selection last time while Ballagh Rocks just got the better of Maraud in allowance company at the track recently though March To The Arch makes more appeal on placed efforts in better company.
