Better Than Words is a strong second choice with a solid win rate and good soft track performance. The weight advantage over the top pick is significant, but the longer break since its last run is a minor concern.

With a consistent record at this track and the addition of blinkers for the first time, there's potential for improvement. The weight advantage is favorable, but the wider barrier and less proven soft track performance are concerns.
