The Verdict
FormCast selectionJustice CourtConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Justice Court is clearly progressive - his last four runs read 3-2-8-1, and the win came just 11 days ago suggesting he's fit, in form and fairly treated off OR 72 (a mark he only just achieved). He's a 3yo still improving with a good trainer in Jamie Osborne, and the switch to tongue-tie appears to have sharpened him up given the recent upward trajectory. Top weight alongside Packetofbiscuits and Forest Caper at 72 is no barrier given the momentum. Forest Caper also has claims on his recent 442051 form and a similar mark, but he's already 5 and has had a look at this grade, being just workmanlike; Justice Court looks the type still on the upgrade with more scope. Packetofbiscuits' form figures (507862) are more moderate with mixed placings and no truly standout effort recently. Caragio and Kiani King both have some claims turning up in the frame regularly but neither look to be doing anything more than confirming a fair but not progressive profile. Justice Court's recent win plus the quick recent turnaround suggests the stable are pleased with him and see this artificial surface/trip combination suiting. He looks the most likely to improve again and takes on a nine only marginally superior in the weights.
