More than enough pace to allow Willet to scoop them up late. Atlantic’s Smile working brilliantly for 2nd start under Baker’s watch and though improvement needed yet from 4yo debut, half sis of Johannesburg Smile has the upside to warrant confidence. Galiana nipped Winning Image at DEL, but has reacted after big efforts previously and regression more likely than the improvement needed to rebuff Willet..

Tony Dutrow rolling and will be intriguing to see if he SCR’s Oohlala to get Zo Zo in or runs both if Zo Zo should draw in on her own.
