This should go to Mark Of Zorro, who was not disgraced when turned over by subsequent Group 3 winner Dublin last time. He is sure to be suited by this trip and can prove too strong for his rivals. Western Fling was far from disgraced in the Coventry Stakes at the Royal meeting and will not mind the give underfoot. Commission, a $250,000 foal, holds entries in all the top races, and whatever he does today, he looks one to follow for the future, while Strenue, a half-brother to the moderate September Harvest, holds an entry in the Royal Lodge Stakes. He comes from a yard with plenty of juvenile talent and is another to keep an eye on regarding the future.
