Verdict

SOFT FALLING RAIN, who beat Haatheq just under a length in this a year ago after looking in trouble entering the straight, can repeat the process. He enters the fray having had just one run over a trip too short and his trainer will have him spot-on again. Variety Club was surprisingly beaten by Shuruq in the trial for this on Super Saturday when he attempted to take on the front-running Capital Attraction and paid the price. He had earlier beaten Haatheq 2l when making all so has to be a threat though there didn't appear to be a fluke about Shuruq's victory. Mull Of Killough had a fine record in the UK before heading for Australia where he wasn't beaten far in a Group 1 handicap at Flemington in November. Flotilla couldn't quite get to the winner in the Balanchine but the dual Group 1 winner can get involved if taking to this surface. The Japan raider Brightline is a Group 3 winner in his native country but has never won above that level.
