Only a small field but no shortage of pace, with Pablo Escobarr, Communique and possibly Spirit Of Appin all looking for a piece of the lead, and if they go too quickly, they could set it up for a finisher. DESERT ENCOUNTER was victorious in this last year and looks to be peaking at just the right time, with a very good third to Dame Maillot at Newmarket on his latest start. He can come through late to score. Communique may keep going best of the rest to hold on for second, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Spirit Of Appin outrun her likely big odds either.
