Nicely bred son of Oasis Dream who cost 60,000 gns as a yearling. Stable hitting form and have won both previous renewals of this race. Looks a very likely type on debut.
Footstepsinthesand colt who has to be respected for leading trainer of two-year-olds. Likely to need further in due course but should be noted in the betting.
Interesting debutante for stable hitting form. Cost 120,000 gns as a yearling and half brother to two-year-old sprint winners Be Bold and Arctic Mirage. Highly respected particularly if any market support.
Forecasts
Barend Boy (9/4), True Mason (11/4), Marie's Diamond (3/1), Awake In Asia (9/2), Finoah (12/1), Made In Lewisham (22/1)
Awake In Asia sets a good standard from his debut second against five interesting debutantes from good yards. Barend Boy is of obvious interest for his trainer who is attempting to complete a hat-trick in the race, however preference is for TRUE MASON who catches the eye on breeding and looks likely to be a forward type for his trainer well capable of readying a smart newcomer.
