FormscanBy Gary Carson - The three-year-olds get a nice chunk of weight here and ACE AUSSIE gets the vote. His runner-up effort in the Guineas Trial here last month obviously looks very good now with the winner Poetic Flare going on to land the classic at Newmarket. Jessica Harrington's charge was a touch unlucky that day after missing the kick and staying on well at the finish. He has a mark of 106 now and looks open to more improvement. Numerian has the top rating of 108. He has run two solid enough races behind the classy Broome this season but probably needs to step forward here to claim a solid looking Group 3. His trainer Joseph O'Brien saddles three and Raise You is an interesting one back in stakes company after winning a competitive handicap at the Curragh on his return last month.
