      Verdict

      Akasaka won a handicap over the C&D in January and has had to race from a much higher mark subsequently. He's been going well enough and should have too much pace for Baitsileir, who has been running exclusively over 1m3f this winter. Bold Thady Quill was going well on Turf last summer but he didn't show much in two starts on this track though they were a long time ago. HE'S GOT RHYTHM is better known as a sprinter but has run well over the C&D in the past and can outpace these rivals in such a small field.
