IMPERIAL MEASURE and Star Legend both showed enough on their latest appearances to suggest that they can take high rank in a race of this nature. The former wasn't beaten far in a more competitive race than this here on his latest start in May and gets the nod off the same mark with conditions no problem. Good Impression registered his second C&D success here last time and he has to be taken seriously, too.
