Genuine pace expected with Belclare and Desert Lightning showing out early along with Grail Seeker looking to cross. BRIASA (2) went to a new level when scoring a hard fought nose victory over 1200m in the G1 TJ Smith Stakes at this track. Should have little trouble getting the trip and has further upside in store. Gets his chance from the gate. BROADSIDING (14) dynamic colt proven at the trip and kept fresh for this. Pulled out plenty when winning the G1 Rosehill Guineas over 2000m on March 22. Fitted with a 1200m tick over trial and no shock to see him finish over the top of these. JOLIESTAR (10) just under a month between runs when a plugging ninth over 1200m in the G1 TJ Smith Stakes at this track. Assess on her strong Newmarket win two back. MAGIC TIME (9) won this race last year and appears to be going just as well. Knocked up late when sixth over 1200m at this track in the G1 TJ Smith Stakes. Looking for this trip and sure to be thereabouts again. SUNSHINE IN PARIS (7) ticking along nicely but she can't draw a decent gate. Sure to be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Briasa and Broadsiding to fight it out.
