Two well-bred sorts, RISING EAGLE and OCTOBER REEF, should fight out the first race on the day. Vercingetorix colt RISING EAGLE was unlucky not to win on debut as he lost ground and found only one better in a more experienced sort. Rafeef colt OCTOBER REEF was only a length behind when also in need of the experience and both look to have much more to come. There are first-timers in this one, follow the betting moves closely. BERRY LANCER and ELUSIVE DRAGON have run some decent races and must be considered for prize money.
