Those with experience don't appear to be anything out of the ordinary so it would be no surprise to see this go to a newcomer and the market should be useful in assessing their claims. Howard Johnson has a good strike rate with his bumper runners here with three winners from eleven runners and COLORADO KID appeals as a likely candidate. The stoutly bred Fourjacks is related to a bumper winner and is high on the list whilst Dark Glacier was an expensive purchase and is also worthy of close attention. Drum Bustible appeals most of those to have raced although his starting price suggests that nothing was expected from him on debut and the form may not be reliable as the race was run at a farcical pace.
