DAWN IN THE PARK ran well prior to falling on chase debut earlier this month and having shown a liking for this venue over hurdles she can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this beginners chase. Veneziano Springs brings some decent form into this contest and he can finish second while Rooster Byron can claim third on today's chasing debut.
