11 turned away from her wide draw. 9, 12, 19 have other options. Pace 1, 4, 5(?), 7, 10 and 12. You could argue AMAZING EAGLE needs his next win and this is very competitive but it's hard to knock his fresh run against Prima Bella (won the G3 Toy Show a fortnight later) and this barrier offers him a perfect 'stalk and strike' setup in the run. GOLDEN STRAAND ended last prep in decent company and was super to the line after settling way back. The inside gate could offer him some challenges but still see him as a threat. NEPO BABY could cross up near the lead. She has matched it well in good company. ICE KOOL an all-the-way Sept 3 trial winner.
