As we have witnessed already this week, experience is invaluable at this stage of the season so the filly Engles Rock, runner-up here in similar conditions last month, has to be greatly respected. However, she faces some very well connected rivals, especially LAND FORCE, a son of first-season sire Nay Nay Never and a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Photo Call. Dadoozdart is a half-brother to a winning juvenile over 1m1f while Lord Rapscallion is bred for sprinting and his stable-companion Urban Light should have plenty of pace. Sunday Spark is a half-brother to four winners and his yard had a two-year-old winner on Wednesday.
