Verdict
Come Quick is a full-brother to a winner on the all-weather and a half-brother to winners in the USA. Already gelded, he should be in the mix but a chance is taken on SMULLEN. Kevin Ryan’s colt is related to the prolific winning sprinter Ginger Jam and has entries in the valuable sales races later in the year. The filly Where's Diana is preferred to Just Another of the remaining pair.
