BEST BLUE looks the part on paper, and while he makes his racecourse debut very late on in the term he could still be useful and this colt who is closely related to Australia might be worth chancing. Briscola is the form horse having stayed on nicely to be second last time in a similar event, while another newcomer, Msaikah, a daughter of Galileo, could potentially be decent and cost connections a pretty penny. The errant Blacklooks is the only pevious winner in the field but this looks a tougher call. Kiss Me Daily is an interesting outsider.
