There’s a good chance that Blood Moon will get a run and he could take some catching if proving as effective on Turf as he has been on Dirt. But Antonio Gallardo is more likely to ride CADET CONNELLY, who is proven on the surface. The Grey Swallow gelding proved himself a classy performer at Woodbine in the autumn, finishing second in a Grade 1 on his final start. Gallardo also rode Assiduously to victory here in December while Tabled won over track and trip in February. Sky Mischief steps up from 6f but Mr. Kringle is a proven stayer, even if a little exposed.
