Mount Ruapehu looks best of those with experience having been placed in maidens over this trip here and at the Curragh. However, this can go to one of three interesting newcomers. Bay Of Plenty is a half-brother to five winners up to a mile and his stable is in fine form while the Kingman colt Pier Pressure is the first foal of a winning miler and cost €165,000. HISPANIC is a half-brother to four winners and out of a winning miler so gets the nod to make a successful start.
