Competitive opener to the Allied Steelrode Charity Mile Day. THE BUFFALO and FREDERICO CAGISHAS are closely matched on recent form and should have roles to play if building on the improvement of their latest outings. BUFFALO KING CODY, THEODORE ROOSEVELD and CHANCELLOR have shown enough to make their presence felt too. However, a bigger threat will likely come from the newcomers so the betting should be closely monitored. THE LIVING YEARS, well-bred SMOKE AND SHADOWS, well-related FROM WINTER and GLOBAL SKY warrant respect before any market clues. Keep an eye on COPY AND PASTE and KISS THE CROWN.
