With an entire field of first starters it is fair to assume a good tempo. B B CLOSER (2) is on debut for the Nonaka stable. Three-year-old colt by Greater London from Happy Belinda. Drawn nicely which is a big tick. Looks set to run well. Betting watch recommended. HOLY STEP (1) is on debut for the Takashi Saito stable. Three-year-old filly by Danon Kingly from Holy Shroud. Has the coveted inside draw. Should acquit herself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. WIDE GHUNSA (4) is a three-year-old colt who lines up for the first time. From an elite family that includes a Gr 2 winner, being by New Year's Day from Questa Volta. Gets all the favours from this good gate and should be in the finish. LA LA ALKAA (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Masahiro Otake. By Leontes from Clean Funky. Worth watching for a betting push.
