The tough Irish mare TARNAWA  is clear pick on form (6lb clear on official figures).Finished very creditable second in the ARC last time .Won this race last year in good style, coming from near last to first .Has wide draw to overcome this year,though shouldn't be problem for horse that will be dropped out in the early stages .Should take plenty beating in not the strongest renewal of Breeders Cup turf .

Walton Street looks best of the rest .Won the Canadian International last time in impressive style .That wasn't the strongest G1 race, though is consistent sort who normally runs his race.Each-way claims at around 9-1 .
