Tips
Verdict: Six Group/Grade 1 winners and a few progressive sorts are among the contestants in a deep Hardwicke. Kalpana (second pick) commands particular respect on favourable terms at a track that suits her well, but a strict line through West Wind Blows makes French colt BEST SECRET a plausible alternative, especially as he's still improving and remains unbeaten over today's distance. The selection's compatriot Goliath holds robust claims, while a peak-form Jan Brueghel would be a big threat and not many of others can be comfortably ruled out either.[Steve Boow]
