Keen tempo with Metaverse and Ballon D'or prominent. TRUCE (5) is a class riser. He has not gone a poor race this time in. Top two must in this field without any doubt. BALLON D'OR (3) is a dual winner here. Top tier must in this field. Has not gone a poor race in his last seven starts. The other main win hope in this race. LANTERN WAY (6) is an improver on his fresh-up effort. Has won second up before and can pay a dividend here. DUNEAGLE (1) last start winner in this grade. A 3kg claim here is important as it means he will be carrying half a kilo less this time overall. THE ENTERTAINER (9) is an improver. Course placed. Can pay a dividend here second up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Truce and Ballon D'or are win wagers.
