      Verdict

      The defection through injury of Lord Nelson has left Bob Baffert with just the one representative in DREFONG. The three-year-old speedster remains unbeaten in three starts this year after successfully making all to land his first Grade 1 success in the Kings Bishop at Saratoga in August and there should be more to come from him. Both Noholdingback Bear and Mind Your Biscuits have plenty to find with the selection but the East Coast’s top sprinter, A. P. Indian, arrives in flying form having won five on the bounce and beating Limousine Liberal and Delta Bluesman in the process. He’s not out of this and neither is Masochistic, who has returned to form after a disastrous run in last year’s renewal with a couple of wire-to-wire victories including a Grade 2 at Del Mar in August - he could go very close.
