The Grp 1 Derby is a prestigious race on the calendar: and the 2023 edition shapes as an intriguing affair. ROCKSTAR APOLLO (3) is in a rich vein of form. Won past 5 (4 here). Always comfy in Heat win. Boasts pace and power. GOZO KING !1) boxed for favours if it gets messy. VICTA DAMIAN (5) sensational Heat win. But dog #6 may cause some concern?

Comment:A King's ransom! The 75K Purse is not out of reach for this chaser: he will capitalise from the draw, if the favs get tangled up? Gallant Heat 2nd to Apollo.
