CHICAGO CRITIC had Mutasarref and Lord Massusus both behind when scoring in good style over a mile at Leopardstown last time. He has been absent for over two months, but hails from a yard in good form and appears versatile in terms of ground conditions. Diego Velazquez impressed when scoring twice at Leopardstown last year, but needs to bounce back after disappointing on his seasonal debut in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. Vespertilio has been frustrating to follow, but gained a confidence-boosting win here over 6f on Irish Derby Day and is likely to be produced with a late challenge. Irish 1,000 Guineas runner-up California Dreamer is another to consider. |
DIEGO VELAZQUEZ was well beaten at Royal Ascot on his only start of the year but the ground was too quick that day and the betting suggested the run was needed. If back to the level of his duo of autumn Group victories where he comfortably defeated a number of these he will be tough to beat. Veteran course specialist Big Gossey beat the future French Derby winner over C&D earlier in the season so may provide the biggest challenge if turned out quickly while Vespertilio is also respected if getting a decent pace to aim at. She snapped a long losing run last time and is probably the strongest traveller in the field. |
