Verdict
QUEST FOR PEACE (NAP) didn't enjoy his time in Australia and has rejoined Luca Cumani. A Group 3 winner at Goodwood in 2012, he'll have come on for a pipe-opener in the same race and can spoil Cameron Highland's party. The latter is bidding for a hat-trick of victories in this though he hasn't been at his best so far this year and was well behind Sennockian Star last time. Glorious Protector is on the upgrade and tries his luck in pattern company after an easy win at Newmarket. He may improve past Renew and Pinzolo while we should get some idea about the ability of ex-Brazilian Energia Fox in this as she debut's for the Botti yard.
