Verdict

Aidan O’Brien has won this maiden race with the likes of Nelson and Order Of St George in the past. He runs three today including the Galileo newcomers Constantinople and Jack Yeats but SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE wasn’t beaten far when fourth over 7f at the Curragh on his recent debut and he gets the vote with the extra furlong likely to suit. Marshall Law will need a big improvement to figure and the newcomers Madhmoon and Army Recruit may prove bigger threats.
