The unbeaten Supreme Occasion beat Arabian Bride on her handicap debut at Newcastle with Kylach Me If U Can further behind. She's preferred to other recent winners Popeswood and Pumaflor and the handicap debutants Spring Offensive and Invincible Gold. MOONLIGHTNAVIGATOR found only one too good on his first start handicapping in a Class 2 event at Newcastle. Dropping back down in trip and class, John Quinn's colt may just edge the opener.
