In depth
Verdict
Some top stables are represented here and we will side with Sir Michael Stoute's Zonic, with Light Of Dubai and Blazing View the likely dangers. The stable have a tremendous strike rate with juvenile debutantes and this daughter of Zafonic, who cost a hundred thousand guineas as a yearling, will know what is required. Godolphin have a tremendous amount of two-year-old talent this season so Light Of Dubai, a 1.6 million dollar purchase, must be considered. However, on breeding, she may be seen to better effect over longer distances. Best of the experienced runners could be Ed Dunlop's Blazing View who showed plenty of promise on her debut over course and distance when a close up fifth behind Street Cred. It will be prudent to watch the market for clues in this interesting race, but unless Zonic drifts like a barge, she could be the one to be on.
