DESERT KAT is a big player on barn debut and looks to have good claims. Kiki Ride is less up against it on this occasion and should be involved in the finish too. One Happy Dude makes up the three.

Halladay gelding out of Bombshell. Half-brother to Dangerous Game. Barn's runners usually warrant a second look.

Remains a maiden. Pick of efforts when beaten 1¾ lengths in maiden special weight at Emerald Downs. Barn's strike rate at this level serious cause for optimism.
