Verdict

Aared has just been finding 1m2f beyond him and has done better over this trip though he looks vulnerable to an improver or newcomer. ESHERA fits the bill as she started favourite for her debut at Gowran but found Rivers Of Babylon too experienced for her. The winner won a better race next time so the form looks strong. Shamash will definitely have come on for his run behind Sir Isaac Newton at Gowran while connections of Peleponnesus don't waste entries and wouldn't be coming here without good reason. Treaty Of Rome cost $180,00 as a foal then an astonishing $2.5m as a yearling. He showed little on his debut at Naas in October and has no future entries. Vocalised is making his mark as a stallion and Jim Bolger will have Vintage Charm ready for her belated debut.
