Looks the part on breeding (by Querari); sire gets his share of decent sorts; in with a shout with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Verdict

There is not much between those likely to be involved in the shake-up - Quevano is expected to take a forward step while God's Country is one to consider. However, TROMBOLINES can prevail. He has enough to like about his pedigree.
