This looks tricky but Temasek Star can usually be relied to do the business around here and his regular partner's claim should enable him to get competitive. Multiviz had run well on her only previous visit here in 2015 and didn't show much on Turf last summer but she was well supported last month and showed there is a race to be won with her with a decent effort. Carvelas, who finished just in front of her, has since run well over a trip too short so the form should stand up. Shamash hasn't had much racing for his age and is the type to do better but Joseph O'Brien can take this, though he complicates matters with two entries. Ruby Gates may have been a bit unfortunate when just touched off over 1m2f last time and this is her trip but it's WAR GODDESS who gets the nod as she was having only her fifth start and making her debut over the trip when an excellent third to the in-form Duchessofflorence last week.
