Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He takes a big step up in class to Grade 1 company. He has come on since his last run and has strengthened up nicely. Anton Marcus takes the ride from a good draw of three. The son of Silvano will be at his over the Derby distance, but he is capable of running a big race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:104. Decent latest when behind number 4. Well drawn and has a place chance.

Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:112. Needed last two. Should be cherry-ripe and can improve.
