Turns out Bolt D'Oro grabbed his front, not that I think that sunk him. I think he'd be the kind of horse to power through something like that but I know the reaction to that kind of thing varies.

The fig is the lowest number they could have assigned IF they wished 110/1 was undoubtedly a defendable number. As Dougie Sal suggests, to get to 107 you have to attach a regressive fig to the entire Oaks field something that is dubious but certainly possible, or the surface changed.
The fig is on the conservative side which does not bode well for all the 95 to 101 types that will be in the field.
