The only two horses that can run with Fierceness early are Track Phantom and Dornoch. If neither goes hard for the lead it is difficult to envision Fierceness not having an easy lead if he breaks well. Just a Touch is not going to go in quick fractions just to duel Fierceness, but then again Cox sent Timberlake after Muth so there is always that hope for those betting against Fierceness.
