        Verdict

        Saucy Buck never figured in soft ground at Brighton last time but beat the re-opposing DIPLOMATIC over a mile at this track before that. However, the latter has less than a length to make up here and, given all three wins came over today's trip, he looks like taking his revenge. Dvinsky is still capable at this level and fellow veteran Gallantry popped-up again when scoring over a longer trip here last time. Perfect Ch'I won off a higher mark over C&D last season and could make his presence felt.
