Verdict

The Group 1 Blue Diamond where CLOSER TO FREE (3) is looking to emulate last year's winner Devil Night by winning the race at his second start. Unlike Devil Night, Closer To Free won the Prelude here on debut, getting a good run but winning fairly convincingly in the end. He should only improve and is very hard to knock. BIG SKY (4) is the tricky one. He's unbeaten in two starts, dominant in the G3 Chairman's over 5f here last time when racing away to win by three lengths. 6f is the query but he might just be the most talented horse off what we've seen. GUEST HOUSE (5) has been a long time favourite for this but was beaten in the Prelude as favourite. He needs to iron out some manners but the ability is there. UNIT FIVE (1) is fresh since winning the Magic Millions 2yo Classic. It wasn't the strongest renewal but this might not be either. ALIBABA (2) had no luck last time although the draw does him no favours.
