The well-bred ULTIMATE FAME ran green here on debut but still got the job done and she should take all the beating with that run under her belt given Liam Harrison’s claim accounts for a large part of her penalty. Ocean Heights has hinted at ability and so has San Roch, who also placed last time. Percy Pi is a half-brother to a winning hurdler and may prove best of the three newcomers.
