Verdict

LUCKY VEGA was seriously impressive when running out a convincing winner of the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes over 6f here a month ago, and with 7f expected to be within range, he is very much the one to beat. Battleground already looks a very professional as well as a smart juvenile and has to be feared, while Master of The Seas defends an unbeaten record.
