Verdict
Face The Judge ran well in defeat behind Dadeland last time out and he should go close with conditions in his favour, this three year old was well thought of as a juvenile but he was very disappointing however he may now be getting his act together. Balerno ran well last time out when third not beaten far by Red To Violet and he will not have had to improve much more to score here despite running off top weight. Inglis Drever is from a top yard and showed ability over six furlongs last year and bred to relish this extra distance. Washington Pink has also shown some ability but has ran as if in the handicappers grip of late. Castle Ring is also worth a look in the market.
