It's hard to put much faith in a 20-race maiden, but OZARK DAZE gets the tentative vote having been placed on 5 of his 6 visits to this track (runner-up 4 times). He can get the better of Harry The Rogue, who is another knocking firmly on the door and lost out only to a progressive rival here 3 weeks ago. God of Thunder, Powerful Hook Head and Benavente are just a handful of others worth considering in a tricky opener.
