Verdict
As usual with a field of newcomers, the betting should offer some clues but SMILE A MILE is a half-brother to four winners including former stablemate and Group 2 winner Burantino. Mark Johnston’s colt may prove good enough at the first time of asking. Sabre is related to a host of winners and preferred to stable companion Jazz Hands while Murqaab is a brother to a winner over 5f among others. So Hi Speed is a US-bred colt entered in the valuable Super Sprint at Newbury in July along with Howzer Black.
