        Verdict

        Ezra Church makes his debut on Fibresand and could figure if running up to the best of his form on turf, but Eilean Mor needs to step up on his recent placed efforts here. The remainder with experience have shown little to shout home about so this can go to STRIKING THE WIND. Mark Johnston's colt cost 100,000 dollars and his dam was a Group 3 winner over today's trip. It will be no surprise if he proves good enough on his belated debut and he's preferred to fellow newcomer Embassy Pearl, whose half-sister won over a longer trip.
