No, you're right, it's a little strange. He could do a somersault and drown that field on Friday assuming it's on the grass. I guess Prussian might be OK but the rest of them aren't much.

He only lost by a few lengths to some monsters in Europe. I won't be surprised if he turns out to be the best 3YO turf horse in the country.

Prussian would be an inclusion for me if there weren't so much speed in the race. Like you said, even if Hatta Fort isn't at his best for some reason, he should probably win easily.
