fight off challenges from both RAYBIYA (1) and THE WHITE LADY (6) among a few. QUEEN OF
KAHRAMAN (9) is another that could be ready to score first time out.

possible danger. MAGURO (12) is never too far behind and can contest the finish again. BECH
RIVER (9) was also not disgraced last time out and deserves some respect.

2. INSPIRADO – A 3-year-old colt by Intello out of Espirita who makes his debut. His dam Espirita
won the Prix des Reseroirs( Gr3) at 2 years old. Betting should be a good guide as all competitors

in the prestigious Wertheimer jacket he should have many supporters
9. BALI – A 3-year-old colt by Exceed And Excel out of Balkis who makes his debut

Summary: Some choice bred three-year-olds go to the post and INSPIRADO (2) gets the vote to
score but it is not with much confidence. FANATIC (8) could be a threat for this jockey-trainer
combination. NOBLEMAN (6) and LAST STAND (5) are two others that make the short list but once
again the betting will tell us the probable winner.

up. ALREHB (7) only found one better last time out at this course and will be concerned with the
finish yet again.CICCIO BOY (1) carries a penalty for the win last time out and deserves the utmost
