Mr O'reilly and Sapphire Siren to battle for the leading role. SAPPHIRE SIREN (11) is an interesting runner second up. She was first up without a trial over 1600m at Sandown Lakeside but proved too strong. It was a very slow tempo and she only had to dash but she did it well. She's got plenty of upside and gets every chance on the map from a low draw. FEDERER (7) has threatened a few times without winning this time in, good to the line again at Sandown Hillside in third. Rock-hard fit and should take holding out again. ITAZURA (10) rises in trip fourth up having closed off well off a slow speed at Rosehill last time. He can improve again and draws well. BUR DUBAI (6) got back and was never likely first up off a long spell. He should take plenty from that and has the ability to figure. ZIRYAB (1) is ready to win and has the class, though barrier 14 and the big weight will make it tough. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sapphire Siren to win.
