A prolific winner in Australia, Complicate was competing in Group sprints at Meydan earlier this year. He's preferred to stablemate Soul but this looks wide-open. Barkston Ash should be reversing earlier running at this track on better terms with the winner Bear Behind while ANNUNCIATION finished ahead of Morache Music when runner-up over track and trip in May. The former looks high enough in handicaps at present but has as good a chance as any on today's terms. Justice Day drops in class but three-year-olds don't have a great record in this while Captain Ramius is usually at his best over 7f with some cut in the ground.
