I still think there is an abundance of early speed. One reason Fort Larned won last year was because he ran a mile in 134 and something, something that GOD has never done. Game On has run 135 and has pressed. If the pace was not so hot I'd probably like Flat Out a little bit too. He pressed from mid pack against slower a long time back and there is no reason to force itself into this pace, who knows?

US-wise I think it sets up for Will Take Charge and Euro-wise check of Declaration of War on Youtube - he waits and pounces late. He should not be on the pace here. He ran well on synthetic in a Group 3 so that lessons the "can he run on something other than turf" question - not fully, but enough for me, anyway.

Good luck both days.
