Verdict
The ability to see out the trip could be the key to this and America America, who is adaptable with regard to her favoured distance, is just selected over Sgt Pepper and Fun And Games in a very tricky little race to fathom; despite the lack of numbers. However, America America has been running well since being tried over on these shores and she prove that this sort of distance is now her optimum. She will not be found wanting for effort from the saddle and she looks to be good value to nick this from the front if her lesser exposed rivals fail to match her for toe.
