Jeremy Noseda's yard appears to be over its problems and Visions Of Johanna should take all the beating here. The remainder to have raced don't look up to much and Mutawahej or Dollarsmile may emerge as the dangers in chief. The selection is likely to be sent off at cramped odds to make it third time lucky given the presence of Dettori in the saddle and the promise that he has shown on his two starts. He's well drawn, the form of his latest start is solid, he's an uncomplicated ride and rates the one to beat. Miss Clarice showed a little more at Salisbury last time but of more interest are the newcomers. Dollarsmile is sure to attract plenty of attention given his connections and the half a million dollar purchase is sure to have his supporters on debut but may need the run; the market should guide. Mutawahej also cost a pretty penny with the hammer finally dropping at three million, one hundred thousand dollars. He's interesting but has been a while in getting to the track. Serious Impact and Taaresh are bred to win races but jockey bookings suggest that they may be best watched here. Visions Of Johanna sets the standard and gets the vote.
