Those with experience do not set the bar too high so this could rest between newcomers LAKOTA CHIEF and Star of Emerald with preference for Archie Watson's Sioux Nation colt who is from a family full of winners. Ed Bethell's Recoletos colt also commands plenty of respect though and the betting should prove highly revealing. Clonquest could emerge as the pick of those with experience ahead of Populus and Somebody.

Race Hints
