Pace a scorcher, headed by Lofty Arch, Parliamentary and Interest Point, closely followed by Polyglot and Shadhavar. LOFTY ARCH (1) resumes. He's won two from three, taking the Gothic Stakes here before a spell over this route. The stable opted to spell him after that rather tackle the Coolmore and he can continue to progress this time in. TROPICUS (2) ran well fresh over in the G3 Manfred, albeit in a messy finish. Wonder whether he might be wanting more ground now but he can land in a good spot and be strong late. SHADHAVAR (9) resumed from a short spell in the G3 Peter Le Grand Stakes and stuck on well behind Arabian Summer, who is a live chance in the Oakleigh Plate later. She's a genuine chance on that effort. POLYGLOT (3) was only edged out late at Rosehill but has always promised good ability. He should measure up. SERGEANT MAJOR (5) may find this a bit sharp but has ability and can be charging late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lofty Arch to win.
