The $1 million G1 Guineas brings together a strong bunch of colts and geldings. Like the Hobartville, there was some questions on the tempo, MICROPHONE pushing up from out wide again with a few capable of joining him (tempo: FAIR to STEADY). If there is a fair speed up-front, class gallopers CASTELVECCHIO, SHADOW HERO and WARNING will be very hard to hold out, all hitting the line behind an honest BRANDENBURG first-up. WARNING capable of setting nearer the pace and he is strong in the wet. It's hard to rule out BRANDENBURG again though, who relishes the wet and should be suited to these conditions again. RELOADED and THE HOLY ONE knock-out hopes. [updated Saturday 9am]
