Dollarsmile makes most appeal here after a promising racecourse debut at Sandown in a maiden run in a good time. Colts with lots of potential were both in front and behind Dollarsmile at Sandown and with nominal improvement from his first to second outing, he should take a deal of beating. French Art is beginning to become frustrating although his effort last time was solid. Tanto Faz his conqueror ran respectable off 85 subsequently which sets a fair bench mark for Dollarsmile to meet but the feeling is he might be vulnerable to the selection who is open to lots of improvement. Market support for Acclaimed would be significant, the Hawk Wing colt being related to some smart performers while Apotheosis was weak in the market on debut and can be expected to have learned from the experience. The second Swinburn runner Saintly Gaze will need to improve from his two outings to land this but Dollarsmile is given the nod.
