Ye Be Judged is not to be taken lightly having won two of his four starts to date. Further improvement will be needed in this but that doesn’t require a giant leap of faith. Luck Check could also run well at a price even though he has a few lengths to find with Unshackled Cross. Kat Dude has won two of his last three and Djinn of Djibouti was successful over track and trip last time but was a length-and-a-half behind Retaliated the time before having had no apparent excuses. DOBY split a couple of subsequent winners over this trip two runs ago before again showing he doesn’t really stay a mile last time - Stetson Mitchell’s gelding gets the nod.
