The final round of Slipper lead ups this Saturday will be crucial for a colt that could possibly enter the picture late with legitimate claims.
Frankel colt Central Europe was unlucky on debut when second in the Group II ATC Skyline Stakes and is a real watch horse in the Group III ATC Pago Pago Stakes.
