Jockey’s Insight:
Corne Orffer expressed strong confidence in Captain America’s condition. “He has taken his preparations very well and is looking fantastic. I’m not set on my tactics yet; I’ll assess how he breaks from the gates and runs naturally. His prep has been flawless and I feel the best I have about beating Legal Eagle.”

Trainer’s Perspective:
Brett Crawford is experiencing a sensational season and hopes Captain America can outdo Legal Eagle this time. “Captain America is in great shape, and I’m very pleased with him. His last run was just three weeks ago, and everything remains on point. We might change tactics from last time because the earlier plan didn’t work out,” said Brett.

Expert Tip (Winning Form):
Captain America is poised to be a top contender, having finished third in this race last year.

Verdict: Improving with every run, Captain America is clearly an exciting contender for the Sun Met 2018.
