Bronze River's first success for Denis Hogan came over 7f here and he's never raced over a trip this short in 42 starts. The Cola Brasil won twice on Turf during the summer and though running very well over 7f here the last twice and though only beaten a head earlier this month he was ridden by a 10lb claimer. KUWAIT DIRECTION could be the one to beat as he is best over this trip and on a fair mark while No Speed Limit always does his best here and can never be dismissed.
