Considering that Tiago was in a similar boat, and ended up moving back towards top class status away from Santa Anita, I think its a reasonable assumption.

Also, and I'm probably wrong, but I get the feeling that Surf Cat will be a strong favorite here.

Not a redboard (hope not anyway) because I've long been on record on here as being a huge Surf Cat fan but.......I don't see any reason why he shouldn't have been a heavy favorite here.
