Verdict
This is not a race for maximum stakes but FUJI ROCKS, from a stable who know the time of day in races like this, could make a winning debut. Bix Beiderbecke is a a half-brother to a winning hurdler and jockey bookings suggest he’s the stable selection ahead of former pointer Jem In Em. Wisteria Bloom and Tommy's Fortune were both second on debut only to disappoint next time while Bray Dale has switched stables after two modest runs under Rules.
