It's very hard to ignore the claims of DAKOTA GOLD who escapes a penalty for his wins at listed/Group 3 level last term and should take a good deal of pegging back from the rail draw. Last year's winner Judicial is the one likely to give him most to do if bouncing back to anywhere near his best after a short break. Count d'Orsay may prove best of the rest.
