It is difficult to oppose CALANDAGAN, who produced numerous top-class performances last season, including a six-length romp in the King Edward VII Stakes and a highly-creditable second to City Of Troy in the Juddmonte International. There was a lot to like about his comeback second in the Dubai Sheema Classic, coming from off the pace and recording the best finishing sectionals, and a first Group 1 success looms large. Last year's St Leger hero Jan Brueghel will appreciate stepping back up in distance and rates the biggest threat, ahead of Hong Kong Vase scorer Giavellotto, who was behind Calandagan at Meydan. |
The two to concentrate on look to be CALANDAGAN and Giavellotto. Both of them were disadvantaged in sitting off a less than frenetic pace at Meydan last time, particularly Giavellotto, who was dropped in in order to try and offset a wide draw but never remotely got involved. He is much better than that and is a respected clear main danger but preference is still for Calandagan, whose three Group 1 seconds (including in that Sheema Classic) set the standard here, especially as this 1m4f is more his trip than the 1m2f he was runner-up over either side of that 12f Sheema Classic. Jan Brueghel is best of the other five and can claim minor honours. |

Down the field in the Derby here last year but this Gr 1-winning 2yo is a smart performer at his best, as when second at Sandown (10f; stays 13f) last time; more needed here, though. |

Career has been one of steady progression overall, last time career-best form when winning four-runner Gr 2 in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket; this demands more, though. |
