Verdict

Secret Gesture usually comes up short at this level and, despite landing a Grade 1 at Woodbine last month, Just The Judge will find this tougher - especially if Dank is back to her best. The latter bids to repeat last year's win in this when she had EMOLLIENT a length behind in fourth. But Bill Mott's filly beat Parranda, Irish Mission and Rusty Slipper in first-time blinkers to win a Grade 1 prep-race over track and trip last time and looks to be coming to hand at just the right time this year. Irish raider and Matron Stakes winner Fiesolana will need to improve stepping back up in trip while Stephanie's Kitten makes most appeal of Chad Brown's pair having picked-up her first Grade 1 win in good style at Belmont last time.
