STARDOM’s victory in the Kingston at seven and a half furlongs must be carefully measured under the circumstances of how the event unfolded, especially the terrible performance of ante-post favourite WE JAMMIN whose absence from Sunday’s 2000 Guineas could lead to another stunning result.

Gary Subratie’s  one-two-three finish in the Kingston with STARDOM, SALUTE THE DON, and GOD’S PLAN is unlikely to be replicated in the one-mile Guineas, which will have new pace players led by David Powell’s SUPER DAVID, who returns treated with lasix after losing the Monday Morning to STRONG AVEENU, and Jason DaCosta’s dangerous-looking EYE OF THE TIGER.

SALUTE THE DON will try dominating the pace but has proven that he is susceptible to folding when eyeballed by matching speed, which was WE JAMMIN’s playbook in last December’s Jamaica Two-Year-Old Stakes and the Prince Consort Stakes when they met as three-year-olds in April.
