FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FEDERICA SOPHIA is progressing and while a few pounds 'wrong' at the weights, is open to further improvement. By Galileo and out of a Group 2 winning half-sister to Free Eagle, FEDERICA SOPHIA seems to be maturing, is suited by this trip and is less exposed than Master Of Reality and Barbados, who are better off on adjusted ratings. Master Of Reality disappointed on his latest start in May but is a smart stayer who beat Barbados to win this same race last September. Barbados was well held in the Queen Alexandra Stakes last month but had previously run well from 110 when third at the Curragh in early June and is ideally suited by trip and fast ground, albeit he has won just once in 17 starts. Iowa has plenty to find on adjusted ratings but did win the Ulster Derby here in June and seems to be quite progressive.
