Now or never for frustrating Ground Ball

Charlie Swan’s charge invariably finds at least one too good for him, but there are solid reasons for giving him the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.

The most important is that the six-year-old simply looks too good for the opposition and we have to be hopeful he will be able to dominate for most of the two and a half mile journey.
