Verdict

Unless one of the first starters jumps out of the ground ARISTOPOLOS (1) will be making it six from six. Made it five in a row when winning the Gold Sovereign Stakes latest and hard to see him being beaten if he runs up to last few ratings. Steering clear of the other two to have raced and looking at GEEGEES LAST WORD (4) as the main threat. Comes from a huge family of Gee Gees with dozens of wins among them and was a recent trial winner. Expected to measure up. FIERCE SPIRIT (3) was in the market on debut and was a solid third. Fitter and can improve but needs to. ZALAU (5) ran in the same race and finished fourth of the four runners. Can also improve but looks a place chance only. EGYPTIAN FOR GOLD (2) has shown some ability in the trials and is worth including.
