Verdict

GUEST HOUSE (1) great ride from the wide draw first up to salute over 5 ½f in the G3 San Domenico Stakes at this track. Won with plenty up the sleeve on that occasion although he didn't really beat much. Should relish the jump to 7f from the gate and handle the pressure. ST GOTTHARD (5) sat just off the fast tempo on resumption and loomed ominously before he peaked on the run with a tough second as fav over 6f in the G2 The Run To The Rose here. Will come on strongly from that effort and has the class to overcome the awkward gate. WARWOVEN (4) given a much better ride second up when he sprinted quickly to win The Run To The Rose. Has a fitness edge over his main rivals and finally comes up with a good barrier. Has solid each-way prospects. BERZELIUS (7) is going better than his two runs suggest and worth noting he won the G1 Sires' Produce over 7f at Eagle Farm last May. Don't underestimate. TRON BOLT (3) slashing return first up and likely to be looking for further now.
