Verdict

ADMIRABLE DUCHESS attempted to make all over C&D last time only to be headed on the line by Liberty Lady. Dropping down a grade today, it's doubtful any of today's opponents will be quick enough to catch her and she gets the nod. Ajjaadd has a couple of lengths to find with the selection, but Matterofact can do better back on turf after finishing last on the Fibresand recently while Wooden King should be thereabouts again having won three of his last six starts.
