The weather looks to be good for this challenging mile and a half G1 turf race in which some of the best 3yo colts in the sim put their reputations, and rankings, on the line.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Despite being over a distance that most are untried or have little experience of there are a few key races that happened recently which may just cast some light on the possible outcome of this race.<\/P>
