A Group 3 winner in Brazil, Energia Eros has been allocated a mark of 112 on his debut for the Botti yard. Martin Harley rides but he can't make the weight on stablemate Halfsin, a winner at Kempton last month. A third Botti runner in Grendisar just failed to match Modernstone over track and trip a fortnight ago and that pair are closely matched, while Castilo Del Diablo had a few of these behind when runner-up at Kempton last month and can also figure. Uramazin and Media Hype are others not easily dismissed but a highly competitive handicap can go the way of TEOLAGI, lurking at the bottom of the handicap and expected to appreciate this longer trip.
