King Of Steel (3/1), Mostahdaf (3/1), Bay Bridge (10/3), Horizon Dore (4/1), Via Sistina (11/2), Dubai Honour (17/2), My Prospero (12/1), Royal Rhyme (16/1), Point Lonsdale (18/1)

Verdict

Conditions will no doubt play their part in the signature race of the day and with no Auguste Rodin to worry about, KING OF STEEL is selected to gain a first Group 1 level success of his career and give Frankie Dettori the perfect send off on his 'final' ride in Europe. Bay Bridge's finest hour came when landing this contest 12 months ago and he looks sure to put up a bold defence of his crown, with Via Sistina and Mostahdaf (who is by no means a guaranteed runner) another couple to consider.

  1. KING OF STEEL (USA)
  2. BAY BRIDGE
  3. VIA SISTINA (IRE)
