Ascot Race 3 - Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes (Registered As The Pavilion Stakes) (Group 3)

WISE APPROACH (1) is markedly down in grade after a 0.75L victory attempting the G1 Middle Park Stakes back in September. Holds winning course form after scoring at this meeting last year. Leading contender. BRUSSELS (3) proved consistent with four runner-up finishes past five starts including losing out by 0.75L finishing runner-up in the G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar. May go one better. COPPULL (4) placed third behind the top two picks in the aforementioned G1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley). Might reverse placings. CROWN RELIC (5) finished fifth in the G3 Prix Djebel at Deauville making seasonal reappearance.
