        Verdict

        We are faced with a similar scenario to the first division and once again two runners have Pattern Race entries; not surprisingly Zulu Chief is one with Schopenhauer the other. Zulu Chief is preferred. The booking of Dettori for Kanjura would point to that one being ready to do himself justice and the yard enjoyed some success with this one's half-brother, Padlocked, last season. A number of these are impeccably bred as one would expect but none more so than Hawk Wing's half-brother Zulu Chief who represents the all conquering Ballydoyle operation. He has the plethora of big race entries that one has come to expect and Zulu Chief may be able to take a step towards justifying those lofty aspirations this afternoon.
