Verdict
Expensive newcomer TACTICAL FORMATION is very much bred to make an impact as a 2-y-o and this speedily bred son of Group 1 winning sprinter Starman is taken to make a winning debut for his powerful ownership. Stellar Sunrise shaped well when runner-up at Goodwood and that form has already been given a boost, and he's feared most ahead of Egoli who wasn't given a hard time on debut and remains with potential.
