Ascot Race 2 - Coventry Stakes (Group 2)
CONFUCIUS (5) Pulled away to win by 3 3/4L last start at Naas but matched against tougher rivals. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Should go close. GREAT BARRIER REEF (10) Was first to greet the judge when winning by 1 1/4L last time at Curragh and taking on a lower class of opponents. Respect in this event. MRAIR (14) Charged home to win last run at Lingfield but competing in a more challenging class. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Serious player. NIGHT IN VEGAS (15) Finished on top by 1 1/4L last run at Goodwood. Unbeaten this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs. Won't be far away.
