It might be worth chancing last year's winner PERFECT JUDGEMENT to stage a revival after a short break as he's very much handicapped to strike again. The selection's stablemate Ocean Manifest has made a positive start to his AW career here in recent months and is second choice ahead of Darkdeserthighway and Oiche Rua.
