ZALATORIS is course-and-distance suited and boasts solid form credentials at this level so will likely fight out the finish with consistent KARATE KID who fits a similar profile. THE LAST DUKE, versatile MAX THE MAGICIAN and filly SEASON'S GREETINGS are also competitive on the strength of their recent form.
