Formscan  - RITANO GUAPO (1) ran a super race first up and with that experience on his side, he will go very close to winning here. FINEST CUP (3) finished behind the top pick on debut and looks to be held on that but can improve further to earn again. ESPOIR NONANTAIS (2) put up a solid run in debut and has improvement to come which should see him in the money. NAUTILUS DU BANCO (11) makes his debut here for a yard that can get them ready and he warrants plenty of respect.
