Not a great race, by any means.

Multidimensional for me, i think he will win easily.

Looks to me like Maraahel's best shot of getting that elusive Group 1. Hope he does it.

God I hope so... love him (and Cato) to death but it would be great to see him get a G1.

He's had such a good year... i think it'll happen.

Still can't get away from Multidimensional in this.

If Creachadoir could prove he stayed this distance fully, he's be in with a good shout, too.

Value is with Multidimensional though. He comes here as a fresh horse. He has won on good to firm and soft. We know he stays 10 furlongs and he is in very good form.

Notnowcato to chase him home.

I'm hoping Mullins Bay can hit the board somewhere.....

Don't think he has much of a chance. What do you all think?

(By the way, I'm not completely insane here and I am talking about being 3rd.....)

Literato beats Eagle Mountain, both well clear of Doctor Dino who was in turn clear of the rest...
just to note that the owner of Literato is the French Minister of Defence!!!
