Aidan O'Brien has won four of the last nine and LATIN BEAT will be expected to continue the trend. The son of Galileo is related to several winners in Australia and his dam is a half-sister to Derby winner Dr Devious. Son Of Rest is another well-connected newcomer being by Pivotal out of a 6f winner but those with experience look a moderate bunch. Cleona and Blue Book may prove best of them with the former having raced in decent maidens though without showing much.
