Official figures suggest Catch Me is home and hosed here but it's easy to argue with that assumption as he's failed to make the expected progress after beating Brave Inca in the Grade 1 Hatton's Grace in 2008. He finished behind NO ONE TELLS ME in a similar race to this won by Made In Taipan over 2m4f at Killarney and there's no apparent reason for a reversal of the placings. Heavenly Blues hasn't proved himself at this trip and the remaining pair both have plenty to find.
