I certainly can't argue with anyone that likes Invasor's chances, but I think Discreet Cat also has a HUGE chance here. They have treated this horse with kid-gloves his entire career, so I don't think they would run him here if they didn't think he was 100%.
As for coming off a long layoff, he has done that effectively before.
I know some people question his ability to get 10f, but that has never made much sense to me given how he looked going 9f in the UAE Derby last year, and the fact that his dam was a G1 winner going 10f.
Invasor is a great horse, and I wouldn't be at all shcoked if he won it, but given how the two horses ran over this surface last year, I think I would give the slight edge to DC at this point.
