A large field goes to post for the first on the card, but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Indian Sun, Queens Brigade and Reflex Blue, and we will side with Queens Brigade. The 12-year old won a shade cosily last time out in similar grade when defeating Mayerling, and although she has risen in the weights, is taken to win again under similar conditions. Indian Sun rates the main danger on his latest second behind Gregorian. He is a course and distance winner and still looks fairly weighted. Reflex Blue is also worthy of respect but he was behind Indian Sun last time and there is no reason why he should reverse placings on the same terms. Of the remainder, Six Star is one of the least exposed in the field and is worth noting in the market, but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum we will side with Queens Brigade.
