4 Diego Velazquez – been neighing and playing about in the pre-parade, uncharacteristic of an O’Brien runner, especially as a four-year-old. Has become warm as a result.
3 Dancing Gemini – well muscled and full bodied colt, always appeals. Has become a bit warm between the back legs but has a tendency to do so.
2 Carl Spackler – immediately impressed. Deep chested colt with a good walk, really catches the attention. Very professional.1313:55
5 Docklands – looks better in the coat than at Epsom, doesn’t lack for quality against some of these.
8 Notable Speech – has sharpened up a touch since the Lockinge, but not a notable amount. Others appeal more.
7 Lead Artist – tends to present similar each time we’ve seen him. Can’t find a negative but doesn’t tend to jump out from a paddock perspective.
6 Lake Forest – looks like he might improve for fitness again, not an eye catcher.
9 Quddwah – wears red hood, no fitness concerns but come in to the pre-parade a bit tense and tight through the neck.
1 Cairo – two handlers and left late to pre-parade, warm and lacking quality of some of these.
