ACCLAIM THE NATION has speed to burn, and will have no excuses given the set-up of this race. He makes more appeal than his opponents in recent form, although Verne Castle has had excuses of late, and is beginning to look well handicapped on turf. Liberatum looked in need of a drop to this trip at Windsor last time, and has place claims despite being drawn wider than ideal.
