“The run was another pleasing work from Prince Marshall. His many problems, though, are deterrents, and [we] as always will be keeping a close watch on his development and see how well he will retain his good form and how he progresses to be effective in competition in later engagements. He is of good ability, but keeping him sound for racing is the main concern,” trainer Glispie pointed out.
