Plenty of first starters engaged which makes for a tricky map. It is reasonable to assume a keen tempo over this sprint course. LUCKY I AM (5) faded first-up after setting the tempo in stronger company at Belmont. That was in tougher company than she'll face today and she'll be fitter for that effort today. Form out of that race has stacked up nicely and she'll take catching with a light weight on her back. BLACK ORA (6) makes her debut today on the back of a handy trial in October. Pike hops in the saddle today for her debut and she should get the run of the race from the barrier. Can make an immediate impression. CAPORETTO (3) was solid in his 2yo campaign and will benefit from that early racing. His trial coming into this was solid and Chris Parnham sticks with him from that trial. Expecting to see him in the finish. MACHO ARQUERO (2) scored in his only trial this time in work and he can put his best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lucky I Am can win the opener.
