"We'll see how he comes through the race but, on that effort, he looks worthy of a chance in a tougher race.

"On his breeding, you would think he would be even better next preparation and as a three-year-old – and over more ground."

All American was a 2YO Group Winner himself before running second in the Blue Diamond and had his first 2YO runner of the season, Now Or Never in last weeks Gimcrack Stakes in Sydney. A bright future may be ahead of her as well after a promising 4th, 2 lengths behind Satin Slipper.
