In depth

Verdict

El Patriota has an international rating of 109, earned when landing a local Group 1 in Uruguay in November. He's southern hemisphere-bred and has to concede weight to all bar Yurman, who will be better for his opening run a fortnight ago. Mark Johnston saddles his first runner at this year's Carnival in Leopardo, a winner on Tapeta at Newcastle in October, while Grand Dubai beat Fire Group a length here last month and was racing in better company in the 2000 Guineas Trial. He finished behind newcomer Sharp Spun that day and the latter, who was making his debut, should have the edge again. FINAL THOUGHT was going on at the finish in the 7f 1000 Guineas Trial three weeks ago and her allowance can see her home.
