JUN KING (3) profiles as the horse to beat on debut, combining a Kitasan Black pedigree with a 143000000 Select Sale background, barrier 3 and the Y Tomomichi-Yuga Kawada partnership. The stable has a solid first-starter record and the trainer-sire figures add further substance. G T GANG (6) has the deepest family page, being by Kitasan Black from Serienholde and a half brother to G1 winner Schnell Meister, with several siblings showing early ability. PYTHEAS (9) is another genuine danger from the Buena Vista family, with Coronacion and Social Club both winning on debut at Kyoto, although barrier 9 leaves him with a touch more to do. ZAKINO SUGAR (10) has a wider draw but is related to Enjolras, who was second on debut over 2000m, and has enough pedigree depth to press for a minor end of the finish.
