Maybe I am thinking of a different race (they all begin to get conflated in my mind) but didn't they come home in like 13 4/5 for the last furlong in the FOY. None of the horses in that race really impressed me as much as Notional in the Risen Star.
I don't have the pp in front of me so I can't say for sure what I will do in this race, but Notional's San Rafael and Risen Star were pretty impressive. Circular Quay is a legitimate colt, and I don't think he was going to get to Notional that day even if hadn't found traffic. I liked him in the Risen Star when he wasn't getting a ton of respect, and it seems like not much has changed since then.
Oh well, I hope he does go off at 4/1. I think the race should set up for him fairly nicely.
