Sounds Of Jupiter has scored very easily on his last two starts and while he is respected here we feel the handicapper my just be on top this time so instead the vote goes to GILDED AGE with Dice also in out thoughts. The selection found just one too good last time when racing over a sharper trip off this mark. He held a couple of subsequent winners, which confirms the strength of the contest and now with conditions firmly in his favour back up to this trip he should be putting in a prominent bid on his debut for his new yard. There's no stamina doubts about Dice who went close over a longer trip last time when three pounds better off. Prior to that he scored on very quick ground over this distance and he should be able to continue his progress he¿s shown since given these tests. Sounds Of Jupiter as won by an aggregate of 15 lengths in his last two starts and while this ground looks perfect his burden now looks a little heavy. Air Maze is a consistent type who should be added to calculations on his first try over this far while Astrolibra was a comfortable winner on her latest attempt and isn't weighted out of a challenge. Good competitive stuff this and Gilded Age looks the percentage call.
