Merengue disappointed last time having earlier finished runner-up over track and trip when well ahead of Strand De Oro while Scheming drops into a claimer on her reappearance and may finish closer. But this won’t take much winning and CATTLEYA gets the vote to make a winning debut for Darien Rodriguez’s in-form yard with Antonio Gallardo’s presence suggesting a big run is expected. She’s also preferred to fellow newcomers Cambio and Real Wild Solution.
