DIAMOND RAIN won this race 12 months ago and has since been placed in Group 1s in North America so ticks all the boxes required here. Dreamasar is progressing at a rate of knots so could be the biggest threat, while Sky Safari and Botagoz also need considering.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Ashariba could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Diamond Rain might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Sky Safari is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
