Impressive Jewel, Desert Edge and Final Call to take up the running at a decent tempo. PECOS (10) is knocking on the door of another win, missing by 1.6L last start at Belmont when up front throughout. This shapes similarly and some sting out of the ground won't bother him. Should be prominent from the outset yet again and he'll be hard to reel in with no weight on his back. OPAL TANGO (9) won well three starts back and has held her form since. She was solid last start behind a big winner at Belmont and based on her recent form, she looks well suited in this event. PINCER MOVEMENT (6) won well fresh before a solid performance at Belmont over 1700m last time out. Straight up to 2013m now is a big tick and the blinkers going on should help, as it has done for many progeny of The Autumn Sun. Pike sticks and another forward showing is on the cards. ROYAL CREST (3) bounced back last start and is worth including on the back of that. MAXWHOOSHTAPIN (1) has performed well in stronger races and can make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pecos goes on top.
