Verdict

SKY JEWELLERY (7) resumed with a bang after 12 months off and repeated the dose as a $1.60 favourite last time out. The SP there and the rating he put up suggests he's a Group horse in the making and this looks well within his wheelhouse. He could be something special and this is another step towards that. WINNING OVATION (6) is no slouch however and the way he finished off last start over 7f suggests the rise to the mile today is no issue. Purton sticks with him and he was good at the trials recently. Should be prominent from the outset and can continue his winning ways without surprising. PATCH OF COSMO (9) was strong in the 4YO Series, missing out by 2.5L in the Derby before missing as the race favourite last time out over 1 ?m. Back to the mile now is a big tick and he gets in here with no weight on his back. Can get back to his best form. STUNNING PEACH (8) can bounce back dropping to the mile off a 28-day break.
