September foal; well capable of preparing youngsters to win races on limited experience; can be in the thick of things with signs of encouragement in profile - form of his is an obvious plus.

Verdict
This is not a race for maximum stakes. Maranello should be on the shortlist while War Dog is from a yard with a fine record with newcomers. However, LUCKY AWESOME gets the verdict. He is with a trainer that does well with newcomers.
