The very competitive feature race of the day, can go the way of Sir Michael Stoute's Master of Arts, being preferred to Axionm and Topazes. Master of Arts has won all 4 of his races in the last couple of months after being stepped up to handicap company; 2 have been on the all weather and two when the going was soft. He may need to be a little quicker away than he has been to counter the draw. Luca Cumani has a decent strike rate at the track, and his runner Axiom is chasing a hat-trick of wins. He also has to deal with a low draw though, which may play its part in the race. Topazes has caught seconditis following an impressive hat-trick earlier in the year and could be involved in the shake up too, but in what looks a very tight heat, we'll go with Master of Arts.
