An international field of 12 is set for the King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot Saturday. I am quite bedazzled by this brillant field; however, I am going to look past the obivious choices of Nathaniel, St. Nicholas Abbey and Sea Moon, and back the invader from Japan, Deep Brilliante. It was tough to decide between Danedream and this superb son of Deep Impact, who has yet to finish out of the money in his 6 starts. But in the end, I think his weight advantage, success on a yielding turf and success at 2400 metres all bode well. On the "Huh?" side, he has only started 6 times and Japan's best result thus far was a third by Heart's Cry in 2006. Also in the "Huh?" column: Deep Brilliante is the only 3 yr. old in the lot, explaining his weight advantage. Still, DB has shipped and acclimated well, not losing any weight. That being said, I look to Danedream to also run huge. Other entries of note include Dunaden, Shrareta, Windsor Place, Reliable Man, Brown Panther, Masked Marvel and Robin Hood. Given the stellar talent entered, this year's rendition of the King George will be brilliant to say the least!
