South Pacific finished closer than Western Australia on their respective modest debuts but both the Ballydoyle duo are likely improvers. But the latter finished behind third-placed GIGA WHITE at the Curragh last time and it’s Ger Lyons’ colt that gets the nod to open his account. Cartes was beaten only a neck at Limerick on his introduction and is another to consider while Trethias cost a whopping 400,000gns and the Group 1 Moyglare Stud entry may prove best of the newcomers ahead of Edessann and Spelga.
