I don't think anything is very good in the Kilroe. War Monger would be a near cinch to have his coming out party were it not for the presence of Kent Desormeaux, who is capable of anything. In fact, did anyone else think it was ridiculous when Kent D. sent this same horse out to a near 5 length lead in the Jamaica last September in his stakes debut, when he had shown a monstrous turn of foot in a pair of come-from-behind victories leading up to that race?
Out of Control is OK, but tends to move a bit too soon which dramatically blunts his stretch punch. War Monger should eat him up late, especially with the layoff. Storm Military is suspect on class as he was decidedly flat in the solid San Gabriel field sandwiched between two good efforts in lesser company. Willow O Wisp can't win at Turf Paradise, pace factor only. Ariste Royale and Mr. Napper Tandy are outclassed bridesmaids. Ever A Friend has been training well but I'm not sure if a mile or graded company is his game.
Anticipating War Monger to be bet down heavily if he isn't ML favorite already.
