The newcomer Sunbird is a half-sister to a couple of winners on the all-weather and Light Wave is related to a winner in Italy. But WATER DANCER should have come on for his debut fifth over 7f here and looks best of those with experience. Both Wowee and Quill Art made a decent start on their respective debuts only to go backwards on their latest outings while Kachou was tailed off on his introduction.
