Slowly away tracked leaders, went 2nd over 4f out, pushed along over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, driven inside final furlong, stayed on to lead post op 1/2
Fantastic Blue (2/5), Dante's View (11/4), Matewan (11/4), Wolf Prince (7/1), Sempre Presto (17/2)
Hard to know where the pace will come from and there is a danger this could turn into a tactical affair. Sempre Presto is on a winning mark and looks to be coming back towards her best. She is vulnerable to an improver and Matewan is an obvious challenger after taking another step forwards in his latest success. FANTASTIC BLUE was really impressive at Windsor and he could be ahead of the handicapper as he moves towards an optimum distance.
