keen close up, ridden 2f out, weakened inside final furlong
A number of these have been finding life tough in better company. Bob Cowell has the golden touch with sprinters and has been given the task of resurrecting Hot Streak's career. But he has to give weight to all of today's rivals including The Queen's Musical Comedy, who was just beaten in a Listed race over this trip at Naas in April. JUSTICE DAY was only beaten three lengths in the Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood at the end of July. That looks the best piece of recent form on offer and Silvestre De Sousa can steer him to victory here. Dutch Masterpiece and Barracuda Boy are capable on their day but Zeb Un Nisa is having her first run since May.
