Verdict
With a purchase price of 1,000,000gns, it was surprising that WALL STREET was sent off at a starting price of 7/1 when he was introduced in a one-mile maiden here in August. However, the son of Sea The Stars overcame a slow start to eventually make winning racecourse debut. As the type to get better with experience, he is highly unlikely to be as underestimated in the betting this time. Zarak Pasha was thought good enough to be pitched into the Group 1 Golden Fleece here last month. With the sights lowered, he can have a bigger impact at this level. Leadlight and Albany County are respected but appear to be the second strings for their respective yards.
Expert View Verdict
WALL STREET made a promising start when winning a maiden here by half a length and now steps up in grade for Aidan O’Brien, who landed last year’s renewal with subsequent Derby winner Christmas Day. Nicely bred and open to plenty of improvement, he could take another step forward. Albany County opened his account with a three-quarter-length success at Gowran Park last time and should be suited by this step up in class and trip. He has an excellent pedigree and could have more to offer for Ballydoyle. Leadlight has improved with each start and got off the mark with a short-head victory at Galway last time. He is bred to appreciate further, but needs to find more again to make an impact at this level for Joseph O’Brien.
