11/1
Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 9-runner maiden at Down Royal (5f, good, 5/4) 8 days ago, despite being unsuited by drop in trip. Should progress again now back at 6f.

Forecasts

Matrika (2/5), Grand Job (9/2), Gunzburg (11/1), Do It With Style (14/1), Ashwiyaa (22/1), Miss Roberts (28/1), Launch (33/1)

Verdict

Something of a mixed bag for this Group 2 and MATRIKA looks very much the way to go here on the back of her fine Albany Stakes second at Royal Ascot. Both Grand Job and Gunzburg look to have better days ahead of them and can chase home Aidan O'Brien's exciting No Nay Never filly in that order.
