KING'S COUNSEL (6) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the bend, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1106m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LORD YORKTON (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1106m at this track. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. DE LA RENTA (4) is on debut for the Kevin Attard stable. Two-year-old filly by Oscar Performance from Zza Zza Zoom. Worth watching for any market push. HOOPS (3) is a two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Greatest Honour from Zensational Beauty. Promising type who is one to keeps tabs on in the betting.
