Verdict

Karl Burke has made a good habit of readying one for this race and looks to have TRUE MASON primed to deliver after he posted what was a highly promising run to be placed in the Group 1 Prix Morny last time out. Shine So Bright and Marie's Diamond are closely matched judging by a previous encounter and can give Burke's contender a good run for the healthy prize-money on offer. The Irish Rover represents a formidable team and also has to merit a second look despite appearing to have a bit to find on face value. Garrus is another to note for future reference as he's very much on the upgrade and looks a bright prospect for next season.
