Verdict

LOUD CHARLIE (2) was outclassed in G3 company two back, atoning with a solid win here last time out in a 0-66. Zahra sticks, he can take up a forward spot without much pressure and go on with it after the horse to beat came out. ENGINE OF WAR (1) resumes having shown staying promise in his maiden campaign, ending up running in a G1 Victoria Derby behind Observer. How forward he is will be the question, watch the market closely. SIRIUSLY HOT (3) resumes. The first up win last time in reads well, expect the yard to have put the work in to kick him off at 7 ½f. LIGHT MOVES (4) is a lightly raced colt who can give a sight up on speed.
