We've said for a while that these trainers are much improved since Peter joined up with his father ... and the win last week in the St Leger showed that. This one was dominant two weeks ago and can go back to back

The two favourites look like taking out the quinella here, and we're favouring Desert Magic to come out on top. Has had a terrific campaign and Mosinvader was behind when they last met. Stable will have it spot on and will like the 51kg, with apprentice claim
