Easy Pass has shown promise over 1m2f but this should go to one of the newcomers. Galaxor cost 400,000gns and is a son of Galileo out of an unraced sister to a USA Grade 1 winner so connections will be expecting some of their outlay back before long. However, this can go to ROMANESQUE, a son of Montjeu out of a 5f winner from the family of a Grade 1 winner in the USA. It would be a surprise if any of the remainder were good enough.
