Vermilion is a multiple G1 winner in Japan and though he showed little, he was not lacking for credentials. He won his last 4 races against good horses.
I was pleased with Asiatic Boy, I hear he may come to the US. He was very much a proven commodity having swept the 3yo races there last season, then taking on G1 milers on grass in Europe. he's better on dirt and showed it today.
Jalil should have done more but he was very much untested against good runners.
