Galileo filly Just So is related to some fine progeny and is sure to be popular on her racecourse introduction but preference is for the Vocalised colt TRACKER SAGA representing a yard who have started the season with all guns blazing and can continue the fine run for the stable here. The Dermot Weld, Dark Angel colt, Shelir and the Edward Lynam-trained Kefallonia look the best of the rest.
