      Verdict

      Fantasy Gladiator won this following a break last year so a lack of recent activity isn't as much a concern as his 5lb higher mark. We prefer PEARL NATION this time as the top weight has been running well enough against better opposition and has been dropped a couple of pounds since his latest outing. Sakash won on fast ground here last August and was on good form on the Polytrack in the spring while Vallarta is starting to come down the weights but may be better over 6f. Don't Be has her first start for new connections and is best watched.
