Strategic can put an unfortunate tumble in his Breeders’ Cup qualifier behind him and gain quick compensation by landing the Inglis Drever Hurdle at Newturf on Thursday evening.
This event will be a true test however and there is plenty of virtual equine talent in attendance once again. Hurricane, owned by Thompson Stud, has a similar profile to the selection. He also took a fall in his BC qualifier but has shown he has an abundance of ability in his subsequent efforts and could give Strategic most to do.
Speed Music Pierji lines up once more but while the Music Speed colt is likely to be in the shake-up, there is no doubt that the Breeders’ Cup Final will be his primary early season target.
Inglis Drever Hurdle, Newturf, 4th October 21:10 CET
