Cape Sunset started out with a very good run at Windsor last May but didn't reappear until October when no match for River Tweed at Redcar. Claim The Stars was narrowly beaten three times when trained by Ian Williams but though his yard got off the mark for the season on Saturday they have yet to get properly going. Cotai Class has shown potential and should be thereabouts but the vote goes to RAMBUSO CREEK, who made a very promising debut here in August and has continued to run well.
