[Wandering Eyes]

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features a half-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Quadrilateral (Frankel).

Juddmonte homebred SLIGHT OF FOOT (GB) (Kingman {GB}), a Harry Charlton-trained half-brother to G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Quadrilateral (GB) (Frankel {GB}), faces nine in this first go. They include Jeff Smith's once-raced Venetian Prince (GB) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), who is kin to the multiple Group 1-placed See The Fire (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) out of G1 Juddmonte International heroine Arabian Queen (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), from the Andrew Balding stable.

Goldolphin's DEL MARO (GER) (Camelot {GB}) topped the sheets at last year's BBAG September yearling sale when knocked down for €850,000 and the son of G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) heroine Diamanta (Ger) (Maxios {GB}) encounters four, sporting a first-time hood, in this debut. Opposition includes his Charlie Appleby-conditioned stablemate Pacifica Pier (Ire) (Palace Pier {GB}), a homebred half to G3 Prix de Saint-Georges winner Ideal Beauty (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who carries a seven-pound penalty for winning over seven furlongs at Sandown in his July 4 debut.
