Verdict
None of these with experience have shown much though Shanaghai City would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot after showing up well for a long way on his debut over a mile. Luxor Temple could never get in the race last month after being impeded at the start and may be capable of better. Doug Watson has three entries; Al Seel Legacy's is a half-brother to seven winners and out of a mare who won on Dirt; Alda'iya is the second foal of a USA Dirt winner who produced a 1m all-weather winner with her first offspring; and Nitro is the first foal of a mare placed over a mile. Mulfit is the first foal of a USA Dirt winner and would have been the selection but for having the worst of the draw so the vote goes to TAMMAM BOSS, who is by Raven's Pass out of a mare whose first foal won over a mile in Italy as a two-year-old. Changqing's yard has been going well and he's related to a couple of winners so is another on the shortlist.
