AL QUDRA (1) has not appeared since he finished eighth over 1609m in the G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (Turf) on November 1. He hails from the ever-powerful Charlie Appleby stable which will have him spot on to run a big race fresh up. On top. HALLASAN (6) is a genuine three-year-old gelding who resumed with a solid second last time out at this track over 1400m. He strips fitter and can challenge the top pick. CASTLE GATES (4) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing well back over 1400m here on the dirt course. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. The turf will suit him and he can make amends. BLEWBURTON (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1421m at Southwell All Weather, beaten 3 lengths. He will continue to improve with racing and is worth including in all combinations.
