In depth

Verdict

Daamberdiplomat and Sioux Spirit make most appeal of those with a run and are preferred in that order but it would come as no surprise to see a newcomer deliver the goods. Behind Enemy Lines debuts for Joseph O'Brien and his sire Sioux Nation is having a fine first season. Another of his progeny, Sarlaochra, is also worth noting for any positive market move. American Sonja, another Joseph O'Brien newcomer, and Ocean Jewel also take the eye but the vote goes to POP STAR, yet another son of Sioux Nation. Ballydoyle's juveniles have been mostly needing a run this year but this one has an excellent pedigree and Group 1 entries so is presumably held in some regard.
