WESTERN EMPIRE (1) finished 4 lengths away in ninth last time out over 1200m at Ascot when fresh from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Fitter again and the winkers removed this time. Looks a top chance. MAGNIFICENT ANDY (4) was thereabouts last time out when second in the G3 Belmont Sprint at this track over 1400m, beaten a long neck. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with two placings from three starts. Expected to be in the finish. YONGA LASS (16) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track, clocking in 1.5 lengths from the winner. Everything points to a big run. BUSTLER (3) missed the frame when resuming from a break last time out, finishing eighth and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1400m in the G3 Belmont Sprint at this track. Overall record is sound when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Expected to run well.
