Carried has won four times here but has taken 46 races to do it while Brokopondo is 3-30 on the track. ROCKVIEW ROMAN is the only other course and distance winner in the line-up having beaten Bellepower comfortably on his debut here last month. He's up 6lb but looks on the upgrade and can defy the extra. His stable companion Come Back And Stay was beaten 3l into third but has surprisingly been dropped 5lb by the assessor which should enable her to finish much closer. Early Strike looked a likely winner here last week when travelling well into the straight but lacked a finishing burst though has been dropped 2lb and can't go any lower in the weights. Harvey Specter has been placed in a couple of decent Turf handicaps but is on a long losing run and was well beaten in two starts here back in 2016.
