Verdict

It's difficult to know what to make of Godolphin's Kidnapped, the winner of the Group 1 South Australian Derby last May and a regular performer at that level in his native country. HERE TO WIN was a Grade 1 winner over a mile at Greyville in July and appeared to have been given far too much to do by Christophe Soumillon on her debut behind Derbaas two weeks ago. The longer trip and presumed extra fitness should enable her to gain compensation. Hot Six was staying on nicely over a trip too short three weeks ago but though Haatheq has been running well his recent improvement has been on Tapeta. Azmeel was having his first start since July when well behind Simon De Montfort a fortnight ago but that will have brought him on and the Bet365 Classic Trial and Dee Stakes winner should give a much better account of himself.
