CALAFIORI has been knocking on the door with multiple second-place finishes and can put her experience to good use returned to turf. Justcallmesergio represents a stable no stranger to success with their juveniles and he wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to feature on debut, whilst fellow newcomers George Wickham and Sergie's Secret command a market check for clues also.
