Verdict
Bazwind has been knocking on the door over shorter trips but is vulnerable to a less exposed type. Count Calabash beat Accidental Agent and Stag Party when third on debut at Sandown. Headgear is applied here to help him concentrate and he has every chance of opening his account as Poetic Force will likely to do better when going handicapping. Highland Lotus was third over 6f here last week but WASHINGTON BLUE isn't highly tried on debut and could be worth an interest. By Rip Van Winkle, she is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three foals to have raced.
