Verdict

This looks competitive, but ACE AUSSIE took a big step forward on his exploits as a 2-y-o when finishing in front of a number of today's rivals in the 2000 Guineas Trial won by Poetic Flare 22 days ago and he's fancied to go very close again with the prospect of more to come. Notre Belle Bete, Horoscope, Merchants Quay and Storm Legend head up the dangers.
