ZOUSTYLE (3) has had a terrific spring, running three big races against top competition, and he finds himself handed a lovely chance to get some reward for effort now. Drops a couple of notches in grade and while there are still talented rivals in his way he can be considered the one they have to beat. JOYFUL FORTUNE (5) went like a rocket down the straight here first up from Hong Kong and earned a shot at the Everest on the back of that. It proved too much but like Zoustyle he looks well placed back in calmer waters now. ATHELRIC (4) also eases in grade having been found out by the better sprinters of late. ASHFORD STREET (8) continues to turn up and race well.
