Group 1 placegetter BASES LOADED (8) went forward when resuming last start over 6½f in the G2 Theo Marks Stakes at this track and held on well for second, beaten a head. Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PUNCH LANE (10) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when tenth over 6½f in the G2 Theo Marks Stakes at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. AMOR VICTORIOUS (14) has been in the money at both starts this time in work, the latest a third over 7½f at this track. Group 3 placegetter CHARTERHOUSE (12) has been freshened up since a disappointing ninth four weeks ago over 7½f at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Top three prospects.
