In depth
Verdict
Out For Justice is in high form at present as he goes in search of the hat-trick after landing a track and trip success last month. He would not want the ground to deteriorate though as he hasn't scored on ground worse than good to soft. Wagner ran well here six days ago on a first run back after his latest bout of wind surgery and is a player on that evidence - hopefully the run doesn't come too quickly. Counteract has taken well to fences but is another at his best on a good surface, whereas DELIGHT OF DUBAI - just inched out the last day - will appreciate every drop of rain to fall and should progress further after just the three fencing starts.
