2. Rue De Royale (6)

J: J Allen T: Tony & C Mcevoy

Has loads of talent and will be running on but is up against an age group champion in Broadsiding and that’ll do me. Place.

3. Evaporate (8)

J: M Dee T: B, W & J Hayes

Is pretty smart and tends to go forward which will suit in this field. Has won past 4 on the bounce, all easily and just keeps improving. It’s harder here but he looks up to it. Will almost certainly be in the finish.

4. Angel Capital (7)

J: B Melham T: C Mcdonald

Sits back and then just unleashes resulting in two powerful wins on the bounce of late. Latest when taking out the Gr 3 Prelude to this race over 1400m at this track. Smart colt who is getting better with racing.

5. Mayfair (10)

J: B Shinn T: G Waterhouse & A Bott

This is a good colt and he should relish this trip. Flashed home in good time to miss catching Broadside over 1400m last start by a long neck. Start prior had led and was run down on the line by the brilliant Lady Shenandoah. Respect him.

6. Wanaruah (3)

J: J Mcneil T: G Waterhouse & A Bott

Looks the likely leader and has a lot of talent. Won 2 of his 4 starts, last start led and run down on line in the 1400m Guineas Prelude by Angel Capital. Will take catching if left alone on the speed.

7. Public Attention (4)

J: E Brown T: M Price & M (Jnr)

Good colt with a bright future. Not far from speed all the way last start when a game 2nd, beaten a long neck in the 1400m Prelude to this race. Managed to get past Wanaruah that day and just failed to hold off Angel Capital. Must be considered as he is improving.

8. Feroce (2)

J: B Egan T: D Sutton

Has a lot of talent and has won 2 of 5 starts but is up a few lengths in grade here. Was 4th in the Prelude last start and was yielding ground over the final 75m.

9. Tropicus (1)

J: M Zahra T: Anthony & S Freedman

Another with a bright future but he’s shown a few times now that he’s about 3 lengths inferior to the very best nd he has THE very best in the land in this race. Not keen.

11. Private Life (5)

J: D Lane T: C Waller

Has a touch of the x-factor about him and from 4 starts to date he has won 2. Lasts start was doing best work late when beaten half a length in the 1400m Prelude at this track. This trip should suit and can manage a place.
