Politician Stakes (Grade 3) (3 Year Olds)
1m 209y
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: Low numbers are best in sprints.Typically fascinating Derby trial. Unbeaten KOMMETDIEDING was most impressive when tried beyond a sprint last time and on that evidence should have little trouble getting the trip. However, Guineas 3rd RASCALLION is proven in Graded company and likely to better for the extra 200m so rates the runner to beat. On a line through that rival and their meeting in the Concorde, both RED LARK and HOEDSPRUIT could make their presence felt over this distance. CRIMSON KING was 3rd in a 1600m Gr.1 as a 2yo
