A fascinating G3 contest. Charlie Appleby trains AOMORI CITY (1) who was unlucky to lose coming home late when third in the G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar during October. Could make amends here under first-choice rider William Buick. Unbeaten stablemate OPERA BALLO (6) arrives following two impressive AW wins at Kempton and must be respected. FIELD OF GOLD (3) may appreciate stepping up to 1m on his first start since finishing fourth in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp. NEW CENTURY (5) brings G1 winning form from Canada and was only one spot behind the main selection in the aforementioned Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf. WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (9) also needs to be included.
