        Verdict

        SPACE BLUES has hit top form at the right time having landed a Group 2 at York before winning a Group 1 in France with Pearls Galore behind. Versatile as regards the ground, Charlie Appleby’s charge is preferred to stablemate Master Of The Seas, who has failed to build on his earlier second in the 2000 Guineas. Mother Earth has won again since landing the 1000 Guineas and Aidan O’Brien sent over last year’s winner while Mo Forza has been winning Grade 2 contests on the West Coast and beat both Smooth Like Strait and Hit The Road at Santa Anita last time. In Love picked-up a Grade 1 at Keeneland last month while Blowout and Got Stormy are other winners at the highest level on Turf with the former preferred.
