Just two runners declared with APULIA BAY (2) preferred following his second at Beverley last month. The in-form Simon and Ed Crisford stable maintain a 48% strike-rate with two-year-olds on turf this season boasting ten winners from twenty-one starts at the time of writing. Further progress expected attempting the longer journey. Major player racing third-up. TIME FOR THE MOON (1) built on a debut 1L third at Haydock to readily open his account next time with a 7.5L Musselburgh success. Never threatened in a pair of subsequent Listed contests at Ascot. Climbs in trip and dangerous to dismiss back at this level.

Having third race start. At debut, raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on July 6 over 1400m, 2 len behind Victory Gold with 60.5kg at $6.50. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Beverley on July 28 over 1500m, nose behind Vega King carrying 60.5kg at $2. Tough to beat.
