It will require another chunk of improvement for SUNSET BAY to complete the hat-trick but that seems a distinct possibility given her unexposed profile, so she's taken to continue her good work and go in again. Ajyaall and Aratus also have the potential for further progress, while Jack’s Point has fallen to an attractive mark and now has the excellent Laura Pearson taking over in the saddle.
