      Verdict

      It's not easy to make a case for many of these. Massachusetts races from out of the handicap proper while the four-year-old Movementneverlies has shown nothing so far. Faustina Pius is difficult to catch right and races over hurdles for the first time this year. With Douchkirk and Flashy Star returning from their summer break this can go to THE RIGHT TIME, who is only a plater but did at least reach the frame at Worcester last month over a similar trip.
