Verdict
Godolphin's Spiritous cost $160,000 but is bred to appreciate a bit further than this. Wahash shouldn't be short of speed as he's by Dark Angel out of a winning sprinter. He should be winning soon and there is also plenty of pace in War Of Succession's pedigree. The Showcasing colt WAQAAS is out of a 6f winner. He changed hands for £170,000 as a yearling having cost only 82,000 guineas as a foal so someone thinks he possesses some ability. Charlie Hills' entry can land this newcomers' event.
