        Verdict

        Trainer Koichi Shintani won this a year ago for Japan and sends over Goraiko. A dual winner over a mile, he was a bit disappointing when dropped back slightly in trip at Tokyo last month in a race won by today's rival Perriere. There are three other Japan raiders including top-rated Dura Erede, who earned his ranking with a shock victory in the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes at Nakayama. Doug O'Neill's dual Del Mar winner AH JEEZ had an easy victory on his debut over 7f here last month and might be good enough, though William Buick was on board when the stable's Tall Boy made an impressive winning debut here. Aidan O'Brien's Group 3 winner Cairo had a very nice pipe-opener at Dundalk in preparation for this while Frankie gets the ride on Bob Baffert's Worcester, still a maiden after three starts at Santa Anita.
