Sole debutant in the line up; already gelded; in the mix with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire is a speed influence.

Verdict
Quite a competitive heat but best of these might be WISH YOU WERE HERE. He has breeding which offers significant hope that he can win first time out. Sosoru is capable of better.
