        Verdict

        Jamie Osborne's Sonntag Blue has every chance at the weights but it is never easy for the classic generation against older horses at this time of year and preference is for Beauteous, who is preferred to El Palmar. The last mentioned has disappointed in his last two starts on turf but is probably better on this surface so cannot be discounted lightly. Mick Easterby's Reversionary showed improved form over course and distance earlier this month but needs to improve again to trouble the selection. Ahaz has a nice racing weight but, like Sonntag Blue, he will not find it easy against his older rivals and preference is for Beauteous. Mark Polglase has given the son of Tagula a lengthy break since completing a four timer of wins on the all-weather last year, which was followed by a decent effort on turf at Hamilton. Provided that he is fit enough after the absence, Beauteous holds solid claims and gets the vote.
