Should go very close here.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Simulation King (Ire) \u2013 by Desert King (Ire)<\/p>\n<p>Has been in some hard races of late the G1 Classic Turf Stakes and the G1 Japan Classic.<br \/>Despite not featuring in these races has been able to stay up in form and has a handy jockey aboard in M. Day. Was running on in last two starts and will enjoy the drop from<br \/>Group racing. Won the G1 &#8211; Lots Of luck at 12F a while back with 104SP and a winning time of 2.30 2\/5. Look for big run here.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Dubfly\u2019s Wells \u2013 by E.Dubai<\/p>\n<p>This horse is a 13F specialist and is unbeaten in last three outing over the distance.<br \/>Was a winner last time out in the Senior Rizzo Challenge 101Sp in a time of 2.46 1\/5.<br \/>Can\u2019t see this horse not getting in the money somewhere and is probably a fair chance<br \/>to go 4 in a row at this distance if certain others don\u2019t rise in form to meet the occasion and the challenge. One of the main chances.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Sage (Ire) \u2013 by Great Pyramid (Ire)<\/p>\n<p>Has reasonable jockey on board in J. Wesselman and has stayed up to 14F and<br \/>has been trying hard in all its races. May find this race a bit tough.<br \/>Prefer to see this horse take them on over 16F as it really does appear to have<br \/>that extra range. <\/p>\n<p>(5) Freeze (NZ) _ by Zabeel (NZ)<br \/>Looking sharp till G1 \u2013 World Cup then big form drops when asked for more group runs.<br \/>On its best the horse may well win here but it appears tired and may need a few more<br \/>races like this or allowance to find its feet again.<br \/>It has the times like in the  12F Smackdown III 109SP 2.29 3\/5 and g1 Sword Swallower Stakes 108SP 2.29 2\/5. <br \/>Very Classy on its day but will this be its day ? Maybe not this one.<br \/>Will get every chance being ridden by top jockey P. Harzheim and it\u2019s doubtful you\u2019ll<br \/>see a 73SP like last outing expect to see an improved run.<\/p>\n<p>(6) Caramon (Ire) \u2013 by Desert King (Ire)<\/p>\n<p>The second of the Desert King (Ire) runners in this race is an improving type with a<br \/>win last start at 12F in the Mambo Jumbo Special but race was run in a leisurely<br \/>2.30 4\/5. Will need to improve again to feature here. Outside chance at best.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Off The Block (FR) \u2013 by Highest Honor (FR)<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t have on current form has been failing to win at Allowance level at 12F<br \/>and hasn\u2019t got up to a 100SP run that would be required here. Will find<br \/>this difficult with some big Group 1 horses also entered who are trying to regain form.<br \/>Prefer in easier race.<\/p>\n<p>PICKS:<\/p>\n<p>(1) Simulation King  <br \/>(2) Dubfly Wells<br \/>(3) Western Sculpture<\/p>\n<p>Danger Horse: Freeze (NZ)<\/p>\n<p>(* We missed Bugler 2nd page so didn&#8217;t know it was taken,<br \/>but its done so it may as well go somewhere.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hero Or Villain ?
