Rash Judgement has run well in defeat at this track on his last two starts and should feature again but with PROCLAIM now back below his last winning rating Mark Johnston's runner is preferred while Golden Desert is back near his best and added to the shortlist. The pick ran his best race for some time when placed in a good looking classified race during the 'Glorious' meeting at this track. His last victory was in May but this will be the first time he¿s better off in the weights since chalking up that success and the conditions are also a plus. Rash Judgement seems to have a liking for this track having run well under increasing burdens on his last two starts here. His mark remains unchanged from his placed effort last time and the fast ground should also help. Golden Desert has shown some good form in defeat in two decent handicaps on his last two starts but he can be too keen and looks high in the weights while Aye Aye Digby is running well but he has not won off a mark this high. A good competitive start to the day where we think Proclaim looks ready to oblige.
