Solid tempo set by Admiral Husson and The Chief Justice who are both capable of leading. MAKE MINE SUPER (4) capped off some improving country form for his new trainer with a deserved maiden victory here 10 days ago. The manner in which he found the line that day was encouraging and he should have no problem with this grade either. Go again. THE CHIEF JUSTICE (3) was a winner second up early in his last campaign at York and his recent spell would have done him the world of good. He has had a couple of trials at Belmont to help get ready and from a good gate, he will be among the hardest to beat. PURE DYNAMITE (5) is normally competitive at this level and had no luck from a wide gate here a month ago. He has a better draw this time and will be ready now third up, to put his best hoof forward. RISING COMMODITY (6) did not get into the race when resuming at York just over a fortnight ago and being held up at a vital stage was no help either that day. She usually improves with racing and is worth another chance in this at some each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Make Mine Super to win.
