Beaten 18l on his debut at 50-1 running here over 1m; has a bit to find with Carnelo (sixth) on that running; needs to make above-average progress as the headgear needs to prompt improvement

Yay

J: J P v'd Merwe

T: L Kruger

Out of a winning dam; first race; needs to run to a useful level if she is to trouble some of these; needs market confidence to make her of interest

Phantomoftheforest is likely to be popular with punters but SKY VELOCITY is a confident pick. Raptor Island might have a say, and Royal Raphael would be a threat if returning to form after a below-par run.
