The vote here is given to ATACAMA CROSSING whilst the shortlist consists of Danzoe, Mind Of Her Own and newcomer Lamh Albasser. The selection is related to several winners and he went close to following in their footsteps when finishing second to Pycian. This quicker ground should suit and he is unlikely to be far away. Danzoe was also second on his debut and he again needs respect, whilst the pick of the newcomers looks to be Lamh Albrasser for Godolphin. Calypso Star, Zero Seven and Petrocelli have all shown ability, as has Mind Of Her Own who is the only filly in the race and she is related to lots of winners, including at two. The market will help provide some further clues but for the winner we will return to Atacama Crossing.
