Jockey tactics will be crucial with a full field of debutants stepping out over the staying trip. ORION BLADE (3) is a first-starter by Silver State from Embrasser Moi who has been a fine producer including the Gr 3 winner Licancabur. Should get all the favours from this good gate and looks set to play a major role. KARELIA FLAVOR (7) is a three-year-old filly by Kitasan Black out of Elvas on debut for the Kubota stable. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. LAMBRAY (11) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt on debut. By Real Steel from Le Vent Clair who has been a successful producer. Promising type who is sure to be well-found in betting. CHAMPION HOPE (8) is appearing for the first time. By Silver State and hails from the Seishi stable. Watch the market closely.
