Solid tempo with Pompeii Shield leading from Royale Jacket and Ubermensch. MASTER SPY (4) is an improving type who went close last run before a spell. Can get the job done fresh. EMERALD FORGE (12) placed only other try this trip and looks ready for it again after two runs back. Has the ability to take this out. UBERMENSCH (1) is mixing form but placed only try at trip and only try here. Nice effort last time. Can go on with the job now. POMPEII SHIELD (3) is course and distance placed at just second start. Has upside and looks a genuine contender.
