Always plenty of early pressure in races like this with a large number of first starters lining up. BUCKINGHAM PALACE (1) raced handy and found plenty under pressure to finish second on debut last start over this distance at Randwick. Should derive great benefit from that experience and back at the midweekers he looks the one to beat. SCORCHING LEGEND (10) led but was swamped late to just miss the placings on debut last time out over 1150m at the Kensington track. Sure to give them something to catch. TARPAULIN (11) has not raced since finishing fourth to the smart Straight Charge on debut over this trip at Randwick in December. Trialling well for Godolphin and the engagement of McDonald is significant. MAWJOOD (12) is back from a four-month lay-off. Didn't fire at his only run to date but is trialling brilliantly since being gelded. Big market watch. Recent trial winner KING OF DRAGONS (8) is one to keep tabs on at his first race start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Buckingham Palace on top in an interesting maiden.
