Such a low key start doesn't give the impression that Godolphin are brimming with confidence about Live Fast, but we take him to be good enough to come home in front here, with Musical Guest and Observatory Star the alternatives. The selection is a well bred sort, who will surely be better for this run. However, the few runners his yard have here tend to go well and with little standing out in opposition and a decent draw we side with him. Musical Guest is another with a decent draw and also the benefit of a previous course outing. That will stand him in good stead here, and he is bred to do well at two, so a win would be no major surprise. of the remainder Observatory Star comes from the in-form Tim Easterby yard. He had to tackle the widest draw, but was getting the hang of things close home last time and could pose a threat to our selection, which is Live Fast.
