CAMPEADOR apparently needs to keep his mind on the job at the business end of his races, but in twice crashing out at the final flight in his last two starts, he has demonstrated his abundant level of ability. At the age of just five, and very lightly raced overall, the sky promises to be the limit for this Gris Des Gris gelding if he can put all of the pieces of the jigsaw together. His trainer also saddles the hat-trick seeking The Game Changer, but despite also carrying high profile silks, the stable number one seems rather all too obvious.
