Verdict

Doug Watson had an incredible 1-2-3 in this a year ago. The UAE champion trainer runs Second Summer and Etijaah this time and neither can be dismissed. The former looks the better of the pair as he's a Grade 2 winner at Santa Anita and finished an excellent second on his debut here last month then didn't give his running last time. North America has been the find of the Carnival having started out on a mark of 75 and now on 113 following four victories. He had Heavy Metal in second when scoring in January and should beat that one again but SHARP AZTECA looks a different proposition. Jorge Navarro's charge has been making great strides and followed a narrow defeat in a Santa Anita Grade 1 on Boxing Day with an impressive victory in a handicap at this level at Gulfstream. Japan raider Kafuji Take is a prolific winner and ran his best ever race when a close third in a Grade 1 at Tokyo last month. Gifted Master will be better for his run last month and completed a double in the early part of last season including an Ascot Group 3.
