Bitcoin Passion made a winning debut when beating a subsequent winner over track and trip in January while Alley Oop Johnny finished ahead of Me And Mr. C when fourth in a stakes race here recently. But the returning OUR COUNTRY (NAP) has placed in a Grade 3 contest at Belmont and wasn’t disgraced in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita when last in action. He looks the one to beat for George Weaver’s in-form yard. Maiden winners Tapage and Tabled represent Godolphin for different trainers with the former looking to have the stronger form.
