1 118605 NOT SO KOOL AID(KY) iluka D Coulthard 6/1

Tulloch Stables trains this 4yrold by VINDICATION x BLUSHING GROOM(FR) x SILVER BUCK bred for stamina this fellow has it in bucket loads as he has shown class at the ultimate distance. He has raced 6 times at 2 miles for 4 wins a 2^nd and a 6^th which suggest he will be hanging around at the wire again here. Last time out he won The METALLIC ROO Challenge-Stk here in a 107sp a good preparation for this.

2 98026 CAUSE I’M BEST(IRE) pole2pole L Ranger 8/1

Cozman19 Stables prepares this 5yrold by BEST OF THE BESTS (IRE) from LOUGH NEAGH dam also of stakes placed runner MISSED GIANT last time out this guy ran 2^nd to NOT SO KOOL AID(KY) in The METALLIC ROO Challenge-Stk only 2 length from the winner in a 106sp on that run alone has to be considered.

3 18382 SEEKING AN EMPIRE(KY) fairhaven S Graf 3/1

THE EVIL EMPIRE – YOU HAVE NO IDEA bring us this runner by EMPIRE MAKER from OWL MESSENGER a good performer right up to the top graded company he has never raced beyond 12f and this is the only question mark on him in this race. He won over12f in the SMACKDOWN4 Series race in a whopping 113sp storming home from well back he is a deep closer and it is the distance where deep closer shine we watch with interest to see if he can handle the 2 miles.

4 142900 TOUR ESCORT(KY) hihosilver B Thedog 6/1

Hihosilver Stables trains this 4yrold by MINESHAFT x AWESOME AGAIN x DANEHILL DANCER (IRE) he has only raced 19 times for 6 wins and has mixed his racing between dirt and turf with equal success but he seems to favour turf over dirt slightly the distance is no problem but the quality of this field might make this a tough race for him but he did win The GREEN TANK Stakes-Stk over 2miles in a very fast time and a 105 sp 3 starts back certainly on his day a real top racehorse.

5 130924 MOTOR CITY MADMAN(JPN) sdmfclaims B Gall 11/1

Black Label Stables brings us this horse by FANTASTIC LIGHT x VICE REGENT x HALO 6 wins in a 23 start career recent racing has been around 12f did win over 16f in allowance company last year but racing in top company has found this distance a little to far has been stakes placed in two of his last three starts and will give a good show for a long way in this can he hold on.

6 10307 TOTAL CHAOS benttree J Ledwith 5/1

Remiller66 Stables bring us this 5yrold by RAHY x CARO(IRE) x PRINCE JOHN he has only raced 23 times but has 9 wins and has earned over $2,000,000 a lot more than any other runner in this field this looks to be his pet distance also and he has graded wins in The Gold Glass-G1 and Millwood Cup-G1 over 2miles and seems to be improving with age his 2^nd 2 starts back in the The Gold Glass-G1 with a 102sp his best result sp wise over 16f in a fast time he has to be the one to beat here and it will take a top performance to best him.

7 102458 FALLOUT SHELTER(KY) thethumb B Wu 5/1

THE EVIL EMPIRE – YOU HAVE NO IDEA produce their second runner by GHOSTZAPPER x NIJINSKY II x BUCKPASSER had his first 16 races with good success winning 6 including wins over 2 miles but a swift to turf by his trainer has been a miraculous success he has raced three times on turf for three wins culminating in a brilliant win last time out in The Clock Is Ticking Handicap-G1 over 14f with a 107sp and I would be hard to beat against him winning again here over 16f should add to a great finish in this one.

8 129673 MON COUP(IRE) lasthope1 J Ventura 5/1

Dixiedotco Racing trains this 4yrold by MONTJEU (IRE) from the A Grade mare SEATTLE HIT and this blueblood has the record to match his dam 24 starts for 12 wins and $600,000 in earnings a genuine graded runner he has won The ENGLISH RUNNER Stakes-Stk over 16f with a 103sp and was a stunning 2^nd over 14f in the Equinics Race for Hemophilia stks with a 106sp this horse adds to the puzzle when trying to pick the winner here. Adds to the quality of runners befitting a race of this stature. The photo finish will be required in this.

9 105742 TETE DEPARTURE(GB) racelord R Perloff 16/1

Sabbath Stables trains this runner by DIESIS(GB) from SHAANTARA TETE(GB) 39 starts for 12 wins suggest the odds makers might be off the mark letting any horse with a TETE name go out in double figures. He has 11 nonmicos wins he has won at the distance and in stakes company but may just find a few of these a little hard in graded racing but as I say never under estimate a Sabbath runner.

10 125229 NASU WITH WINGS(GB) racelord D Gullet 39/1

Sabbath Stables 2^nd runner this one the outsider of the field is by DIESIS(GB) from CLASSY K.(GB) as mentioned in previous horse Sabbath horses are usually competitive this fellow will need to improve on his past efforts to figure here only a runners chance.
