Verdict

While Lightning Amber has the best form on offer and is deserving of maximum respect like all of her trainer's runner here preference is for BROOME. Aidan O'Brien's two-year-olds have all needed a run this season so plenty of improvement can be expected now and this son of Australia seemed to be getting the hang of things late on at Killarney, it is noted that he has a whole host of big race entries. Patriot's Day looked the sort likely to improve plenty on his debut effort too so he can't be dismissed.
  1. Broome
  2. Lightning Amber
  3. Patriot's Day
