Belardo half-brother to a couple of quite useful performers for the yard. Interesting newcomer but will need to be very useful to win this on debut.

Forecasts

Dark Saffron (5/2), Arigatou Gozaimasu (3/1), Elusive Trevor (4/1), Awab (5/1), Feeraas (7/1), Diamond Dealer (18/1), Golden Redemption (22/1), Casino Bay (33/1), Odai (33/1)

Verdict

This may develop into a straight fight between useful pair DARK SAFFRON and Arigatou Gozaimasu, with preference for the former who has already shown he can do it over this trip. Awab looks best of the rest unless newcomer Elusive Trevor is decent.
