Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Futatsu a potential leader. Small field with the early favourite coming out. DETROIT CITY (1) has to be hard to beat and gets a chance to return to winning form. Has been in stakes grade at five of seven career runs, including the Australian Guineas two back then the Alister Clark last time. Unless he's outdashed, should have a bit on these. LITTLEBIRDIE (6) looks the biggest danger on last run and the small field will suit. Went forward and found one better last time and will give a sight again here. FUTATSU (4) looms as the other main threat. Was good fresh and now to the mile and with the run under the belt will go close. OCEANS ABOVE (2) was disappointing last time but drops in grade and is fitter for two runs back. Won't get a better chance to find his best. MARIOTA (3) was a winner two back then well below that last time. Can improve but needs to. SUGGESTED PLAY: Detroit City gets his chance.
