I've got Hearts Cry as the real deal here.
My projected order of finish;

1) Hearts Cry
2) Hurricane Run
3) Maraahel
4) Enforcer
5) Electrocutionist
6) Cherry Mix

We shall see. This one looks to be a dandy.
Good Luck!

This just up on Sporting Life...


LATE DOUBT FOR ELECTROCUTIONIST
By Anita Chambers, PA Sport

Electrocutionist could bypass Saturday afternoon's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes after suffering a last-minute injury scare.

The five-year-old was reported to be stiff on Saturday morning but Godolphin have sent the horse to Ascot and hope he will be ready to take part in the Group One feature at 4.20pm.

"We don't want to set any unnecessary alarm bells ringing but the horse did pull out stiff this morning," Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford told Channel 4's Morning Line.

"We think he probably got cast in his box overnight but he's not lame and is on his way to Ascot.

"Touch wood, all being well, he will be able to run."


Crisford expects the horse to arrive at the track before 9am but stressed a decision on Electrocutionist's participation is unlikely to made until this afternoon.

"He was stiff but he seemed to walk out of it quite quickly which is encouraging," added Crisford.

"We will check him out at Ascot thoroughly and we are hopeful he will be able to take his chance.

"The time scale is that we saw him at five o'clock this morning and he will probably be there (Ascot) at about a quarter to nine.

"We will look after 2pm as we want him to rest and settle into his box at Ascot.

"We would expect a decision between 2.30 and 3pm."

Electrocutionist, winner of the Dubai World Cup, is the general second favourite behind French raider Hurricane Run in the Ascot showpiece.

Hurricane Run is really good, I didn't ever think he would get the win here after he was bottled up by Hearts Cry in the stretch.

It was those 3. The rest were not gonna win. Hurricane Run's connections are suggesting the Breeders Cup as a landing spot along the way.

YES.

Fantastic effort by Hurricane Run. He looked like he was done and ground it out while against the rail. Really a heroic effort. Im sold. Full of toughness. A very talented gutsy horse.

Maraahel didn't have it against these, SC. Just a different type of company

For those of you that have not seen this run:

He got pinned by Electrocutionist on the turn and then by Hearts Cry in the stretch. A fantastic run on the inside.
