Cup Final for 2023....COMMANDS RESPECT (3) accelerated hard mid race to win his heat in a BON 25.16, sets up similar and should take holding out again. IMPRESS DRESSEL (6) took control mid race and held his rivals at bay last week, huge chance. JAY IS JAY (7) was slow away in the heats but ran well, in astute hands and can run sizzling time.
