Verdict
Coral Cove was promising on debut and should build on that in this bumper but with Rebecca Curtis' record in these races we prefer SUNSALVE with Tealissio expected to go well on his first start. A progressive and winning pointer the selection hails from a yard that do exceptionally well in these races. Add into the mix that the champion gets the leg up it all looks good for a big run. Coral Cove found just the one too good when running better than his big odds suggested he might on debut. A similar run will have him close and there is the possibility of more to come. Tealissio is related to a dual bumper winner and the yard pop up with winners in this sphere now and again while fellow debutante Rody will be better over obstacles and should only be looked if the market speaks in his favour. Orlittlebylittle is another turning out for the first time and from this yard needs respecting but in an interesting finale Sunsalve looks the best call.
