      Verdict

      Taro Tywod finished ahead of Moulin Rouge when scoring over track and trip last time but was a length behind runner-up ELITE FORCE here earlier. The latter should confirm running on better terms and Roger Charlton's charge gets the nod to go one better. May Queen won here in October but is upped in class for her return and Ajig has done all her winning so far over shorter distances, though stays today's trip well enough. Idol Deputy finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when second last time and is another to consider.
