Verdict
Judge 'N Jury would have got the verdict but for getting the worst of the draw and we'll look to those drawn low instead. Jucebabe is one to note in the market as two of her three career wins have come here but she lacks a run and we prefer the claims of Dressed To Dance. She has already proved to be a good claim for her astute trainer as she has earned both win and place prizez money since joining her new yard. She looked to have something up her sleeve when winning at Windsor and looks capable of defying her penalty in this company. Just Joey is another in fair form and should be finishing strongly but is drawn high and may find the line coming too soon although in Chris Catlin she has the right man on board to get the best out of her. Matterofact is a course winner who is on a winning mark and she's worthy of a second look as is Hobson who has also win here but he faces quite a stiff task against his elders. Tricky fare but there's plenty to like about Dressed To Dance.
