Verdict

KHANT FAIL (9) comes via some solid maiden races of late and gets a well-used claim. Proven mile type right in this if it stays dry. RHEGION (6) has been close up in both starts over shorter trips. Senior rider and a soft draw say yes. NAVY BUOY (4) looked to have every chance in a limited field last start but should be at peak now. Well drawn with winning claims. THINK OF ONE (7) has been solid in two runs back from a spell and handles all conditions. Can figure in a neat fit. EXPLICIT (10) takes on older horses after a bold run at big odds last start.
