Verdict

Flic Flac is ideally bred for this trip and made a highly satisfactory debut over 5f here behind High Award. She's certain to have come on for the experience and can go well while Bad Romance has also been staying on over the minimum trip and will find this to his liking. Rose Bonheur, by Danehill Dancer out of a Group 3 winning miler, is one for the future but the form pick has to be PETRONIUS MAXIMUS, who slipped up when still in the lead in the race won by Sydney Harbour here in June but who had earlier finished like the proverbial train when runner-up to Marine Commando in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot though prospective punters should be aware that the latter race has worked out very badly.
