BAPTISM finished behind South Coast at Epsom five weeks ago, but there are reasons to believe that John Gosden's Sea The Stars colt can reverse those placings. This expensive foal (460,000gns) has probably failed to match general expectations so far, although with a pedigree best suited for a test of stamina he deserves more time before being judged. This extra two furlongs at a more conventional track, coupled with the fitting of cheekpieces should show him in a much more positive light. Of the others, both Bondi Sands and Caledonian Crusade are thought capable of further improvement with the benefit of time and experience.
