    Verdict

    OCEAN CLOUD is penalised for making all over track and trip on her debut but won with plenty in hand. She should have the measure of both Dazzling Gem and Blatant though the newcomer Dance Ahead may prove more of a threat given he’s related to a couple of winners including the Rockfel runner-up Nazruna.
