Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Friday's Observations features a relative of Derby winner Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).

CAPULET (Justify) is a notable runner from Ballydoyle in this maiden which has been won in the past three years by the future pattern-race performers Youth Spirit (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Noble Truth (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) and Epictetus (Ire) (Kingman {GB}). A son of the G2 Kilboy Estate S. winner and G1 Nassau S. runner-up Legatissimo (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who is in turn a full-sister to the Derby hero Serpentine (Ire), he encounters the fellow newcomer Emperor's Star (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), a relative of Cloth Of Stars (Ire) bidding for a fourth renewal for Charlie Appleby since 2017.
