Verdict

RUE DE RIVOLI (5) was a trial third last month so she is ready to resume for certain. Proven fresh up too. Can win this for sure and may well be a glaring tote tip. HE'S PLATINUM (2) he is proven here. Handles dry and wet footing too. Quinella and trifecta chance for sure. DUCHESS OF WAR (7) was very poor at her last start. Fresh up third prior was more like it. Trifecta and four chance in this field drawn well. SWERVE (1) he is a partial class dropper in this. Place and first four chance here at best. A 4lbs claim helps. OPPENHEIMER (6) is a Maiden but he is racing very well. On pacer. Handles it dry and wet.
