Classic, and then Dubai World Cup

a few comments all obviously "IMO" :

most importantly 10 furlongs fits GP much better than the classic turf distance of 12furlongs

Ponti will handle the pro-ride surface fine, as he like most good horses, is versatile. He is at a career peak and trying to compare previous races to gauge synthetic aptitude is misleading.

A Classic / DWC double is enticing enough that it adds appeal to the Classic itself.
