Ascot Race 4 - St James's Palace Stakes (Group 1) (Rnd)

FIELD OF GOLD (1) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last start at Curragh and competing in a less challenging grade. Should be going forward early. Will be in the finish. HENRI MATISSE (3) Brave effort to win narrowly last time at Longchamp and has the ideal stall. Ultra competitive this preparation with 2 wins from as many runs. Hard to overlook. RULING COURT (6) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Newmarket and challenged by less formidable competitors. Trainer has gone for the tongue tie on, take note. Must respect in this event. FIRST WAVE (2) Won with a leg in the air by 4 3/4L last time at Gowran Park and solid career start. Trainer has gone for the tongue tie on, take note. Maybe for the tricast and a marginal hope.
