Gavin Cromwell tries Ciao in first-time blinkers which may work the oracle on just her second start for the yard though she's beginning to look exposed. TWENTY MINUTES is another who has had plenty of chances though he finished with a real flourish over 7f when just failing to catch View The Bay, who runs earlier. He gets the vote though Bright Eyed makes her debut on the surface but looked a certain future winner when beaten a neck over a mile on heavy ground at Listowel in September. Pacific Fleet showed potential in the UK and makes his debut for new connections but Cj Cregg looked as though she needed further when staying on over 1m4f here last month.
