Verdict
ARCHIMEDES cost €240,000 and is by Invincible Spirit out of a juvenile Listed winner. He should have plenty of pace and is handed the vote. Bathos is from the first crop of top miler Poets Voice out of a smart winning juvenile so he should be speedy while Shanghai Glory is related to plenty of winners as is his stablemate High Speed, who looks very aptly-named on breeding. Dream Dreamer is by the new stallion Dream Ahead, a brilliant sprinter, and out of a 6f juvenile winner so he's another who should have pace to burn.
