        Verdict

        COUNTRY GRAMMER won this last year having warmed up with a second place at Riyadh and Bob Baffert is following the same script. Frankie is on board again and his mount once again looks the one to beat. Algiers has been in brilliant form since the turn of the year, easily landing a pair of Group 2 races on the Dirt though he'll find the selection at a different level. Japan has a very strong hand with Grade 1 winner Vela Azul the top rated in the field and Crown Pride having won a Group 2 over the course and distance. The latter couldn't get close to the front-running Panthalassa in the Group 1 Saudi Cup, when the selection finished runner-up and Cafe Pharoah a close third, and appears unlikely to turn the tables on the front three.
