Comment: Solid effort on his debut when third at Ellis Park running over this trip at 10-1 last month; this son of Tiz The Law looks the part on breeding; looks likely to be involved as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred son of Tiz The Law and his latest trackwork was positive.

Cabourg

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

10/1

Comment: From respected stable; related to Valletta, winning form over 1m½f-1m4f; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise.

Complexed

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

10/1

Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Complexity); trainer can ready one; related to Khafre (winner from 6f up to 1m1f); chance with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire is a speed influence.

Apollo Eleven

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Represents a trainer with a strong record here with newcomers; he's worth a go as some good aspects to his profile.

Corona de Oro

Comment: Workouts somewhat dispel fitness concerns; bred to get better with time; should not be far away.

Stable Hero

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire is a rich source of two-year-old winners; related to 1m½f winner Mary Marguerite; trainer not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise.

Mom's Spaghetti

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: May need the run being from this trainer; sire offers hope the distance might suit; related to Grade 2 winner Instant Coffee; breeding suggests he may improve with time; promising pedigree; requires market confidence to make him of interest.

40/1

Comment: Beaten 21l to finish seventh on his debut (Ellis Park, 5½f) at 20-1 three weeks ago; entitled to be sharper - runners from this trainer can show improved form on second start; hard to make him a bet based on first race.
