Counting Coup is our selection in this big Naas field over 16 furlongs on soft ground, and he is preferred to the top-rated Helvic Dream on his progressive profile. He sits at 100 in our ratings, just five pounds behind that rival, which is a narrow gap he can bridge if his upward curve continues. Helvic Dream is the obvious danger as the top-rated runner on 105, while Comfort Zone on 99 and Galileo Dame on 98 are both close enough to cause problems in a competitive 18-runner contest. Confidence is low given the size of the field, but Counting Coup's improvement makes him the pick.
