You make a sound point, however, I always thought that if the times are about normal for an off track, there should not be much of a concern. Judging from the performances of each horse I went over, you could make a case for Gunnevera, since he was the only one of the four, not to make headway. You could make the same excuse for Hence. But, since, AD, CE and Lookin at Lee made tremendous efforts, I cannot just toss the derby times. I would hope what I posted gives anyone a better understanding of how both races shaped up for these four. As for Cloud Computing, his third in the Wood does not impress me, since Irish War Cry took a bath after being in contention for most of the Derby. I can't make a case, yet for Royal Mo, Senior investment and Materiality.
Royal Mo came out of that dismal SA Derby. He other two are coming out of lower races. I'll look them over, once more to see if there is a chance one of them can sneak in for place and show. Otherwise, my top four stand as your likely contestants.
