Verdict
There is plenty of pace across the draw today which should ensure that Juwwi has the race run to suit and he is taken to swoop late and fast to spoil the party for course specialists Henry Tun and Valazar. A number of the rest are capable of playing leading roles if they run true to form and moves for the likes of Catchthebatch, The Leather Wedge and Scary Night will give a good indication to whether the respective connections feel this could the day for their charge's to come good again. In contrast to Attorney, whose form has dipped since he lead home Valazar and Hagley Park in a Banded Stakes race here in April and he will always be a risky proposition when he is set to give weight away to the majority of his rivals. Henry Tun could be the one to give the selection the most to do as he seems to reserve his best for this straight five furlong course. However, he does have a little to find with Juwwi from the last time they came into opposition and may also find the old-boy has his measure if he can recapture any of that finishing flourish that he has been noted for over the years.
