Plenty of first starters engaged which muddies the map a little. It is fair to assume a genuine tempo. CATCH ME (2) missed the frame on debut but that was in stakes class then progressed nicely at his second outing, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m here. Has upside and expected to go close again. MERCURY (5) is a two-year-old colt on debut. From a family of winners, being by The United States from Welsh Kitten. Profiles well for this and expected to measure up. BOLERO (6) is a two-year-old colt at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Rafeef from Valeta. WAITING GAME (7) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Eric Sands. By Rafeef from In Limbo. Top-three chance.
