Red Rossini is fancied to be a tough customer to deal with in the opener and is selected ahead of Timeteam from those with experience, while newcomers Good Buy Dubai and Luvmedo (a stablemate of the selection) are others to monitor closely in the betting. Luvmedo cost 42,000gns as a foal and is related to several winners over sprint distances. Her sire, One Cool Cat, is yet to produce a winner on the All Weather, but the market will give a good indication as to whether the filly's connections think that statistic may be altered post race. Good Buy Dubai should have very few problems with the distance and looks a bright prospect on paper. This experience will be a good starting point and he is one to bear in mind for future reference. Timeteam showed improvement last time out and is going the right way. This surface is a new challenge but, as his previous outings will have already taught him plenty, he comes here as a solid option to at least make the frame. However, Red Rossini has the best form on offer just now and, with Ryan Moore doing the steering, he is sure to have a determined driver in the saddle for today's bid to rid himself of the maiden tag.
