Shoreacres takes no prisoners and will make this a true test. He only found one too good in three runs last spring under Rules and goes well fresh so should take all the beating. But REY NACARADO is a strong stayer and, fresh from a victory between the flags last month, David Phelan's 10-year-old can pick off the likely front-runner with the experienced Gina Andrews in the saddle. Let's Get Serious is likely to need this and neither of the remaining pair have shown much lately.
