This is a race of hard-knocking underachievers...
El Kabeir is a gigantic question mark for me.
Donworth is so lightly raced, I also don't know what to make of him.
Imperative has never actually won at Santa Anita.
I don't trust Hoppertunity, and I think Cat Burglar is coming into this nicely and this could be his chance to win a graded stakes.
