Who is the Omnipotent One? This time of year is potentially \u2018make or break\u2019 time for the Juvenile crop. Many Classic wannabes are stretching out for the first time and trainers are wondering whether their carefully nurtured colts and fillies will be back here at <\/B> This race represents the more cautious approach; sprinters will be at the limit of their endurance, whilst the routers will be begging for the extra half furlong and more. CLASSIC GREEK(FR) <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 ran a respectable second on her debut over 6f but looked a little one-paced. She is bred for stamina rather than raw speed and may find the trip a little short today. Her family looks to prefer the lawn and this young lady could be a big player in the English Classics next year. Unlikely to spring the surprise here but could well run past tiring sprinters to grab a slice of the pie. TREBRE MACHIA(IRE) <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 unlucky last time to get mugged after dueling for the lead. He will appreciate the extra sixteenth, but only if he doesn\u2019t expend all his energy trying to get to the front too early. With a couple of confirmed frontrunners in the field, he will need to sit off and show a nice turn of foot where it matters. If he can continue improving in this, his fourth stakes attempt, he is sure to step up to the Classics distances early next year and could be one for the notebooks. STORM TAPPER <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 a product of the \u2018new chefs-in-waiting\u2019, this roan colt is no stranger to the winner\u2019s circle with four of his six starts ending in victory. Didn\u2019t look too happy wearing the kickback from the frontrunners on the slop last time but he still recorded his best time to date. He seems just as happy on grass as dirt and should have no problems handling the trip. Surprisingly, his twelfth in the Vermont G2 event, only 4 lengths behind, looks to be rock solid but he needs to up his game today if he is to go on to be a Group horse. SORIS <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 superbly bred colt who will want to jump off in front and stay there! Ran out of steam when hotly fancied last time and although he will mature into a quality miler, the drop back of half a furlong will probably help his cause today. With a couple of other in the race that might be looking to get out in front, he might set the race up for something rating off the pace but if he can grab a length or two out of the gate, he will be hard to catch. GLORY B GOOD <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 already a Group 3 winner and with the highest earning in the field, the 5\/1 morning line could look to be real value! Has done little wrong, even when being caught on the line LTO. The main concern is that he could be involved in the battle for the lead with a couple of the others in the field. His entire bloodline is screaming \u2018mile\u2019 and I think he will be back here next spring vying for favoritism in the early Classics races. WONDERBOY EDGE <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 a Derby runner in the making, this nicely bred colt was unlucky to run into three \u2018speed demons\u2019 last time and by the time he had wound up for the stretch drive, they were gone. He was eating up the ground that day and over today\u2019s trip he would have got up. It\u2019s worth giving him another chance here and I would expect this race to be the springboard to his Classics career. If the expected duel for the lead takes place, this one will be right there to pick up the pieces. GENERAL NUTSARITCHE(AUS)<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> \u2013 showed a blistering turn of foot last time to mug <\/SPAN>Trebre Machia <\/STRONG>just before the line and is expected to adopt the same tactics today. He recorded the best figure of any of these in the process and a reproduction of that figure will surely see him in the frame again. Gradually working his way through the distances, he could be getting close to his best and only time will tell if he is to go on to the longer races or ply his trade at the limit of the sprints. 6\/1 is a great price and I\u2019ll be throwing a few SimDollars at this one. SEEKING THE LASS <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 burst onto the scene when breaking his maiden two back and stepped comfortably into Stakes company when winning last time. His pedigree holds a nice line of sprinters and milers which should point to ideal conditions today. Today\u2019s race will be a good guide to his future capabilities and trainer richardobe<\/I> will be keeping a close eye on how he performs. If he looks comfortable here, I would expect to see him aimed at next year\u2019s <\/SPAN> SULPHUR SPRINGS <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 found his last race a step too far, too soon, and will be better over today\u2019s trip. He could well mature into a quality miler and even go further but at this stage of his career he doesn\u2019t look ready to take on the \u2018big boys\u2019. Throw out the last race and we have a fine animal progressing nicely through the ranks. His back to back wins at the start of his career were a great platform to build on and his early return to the track looks to show that he needed the \u2018run out\u2019. I\u2019ll take a watching brief on this one. GREEN CHARLIE <\/SPAN><\/B>\u2013 bidding to retain his perfect record here and the morning line price of 9\/1 looks very generous indeed. Anyone worried that he failed to improve his speed rating last time should forget it \u2013 a horse will only beat what is put in front of him and it was the speed of the others that dictated the winning time. A big future awaits and he is taking it one step at a time. If he wins here, a step up to Group class is the next logical progression \u2013 and I\u2019ll be keeping a close eye on how his career takes shape. All in all, this is a field of potential superstars and I will be very surprised if there aren\u2019t a couple of Group 1 types amongst them. Each one has a valid claim to the race but there can be only one winner. I\u2019m jumping on the fence and sitting there until the race has been run and then I\u2019ll be grabbing my notebook and scribbling away in preparation for the next generation of Classics pretenders.
