Far from disgraced in the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint (draw was no help) dropped down to 6f at Greyville six weeks ago; from a top trainer and a course specialist who has won three times here; must be high on list if building on promise shown last time and dropping in class.

Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-23) but recent form is unremarkable; finished last of ten over 1m2f here (stakes race) in April; returns from a layoff; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as a few rivals look in good form.

Verdict
CHRONICLE KING can prove superior to his rivals. He has an encouraging career strike-rate and has won once over this C&D. Legend Of Arthur certainly isn't out of it while Cosmic Speed is entitled to be in the mix, and Mastership is an interesting contender from the ideal draw.
