The Gordon Elliott trained GILI ISLAND (3) is unraced and shapes as a key chance by Crystal Ocean out of Bartlemy Bell. Could have an immediate impact holding leading claims. BRADY HARTSFIELD (2) is another newcomer who rates as a major hope. By Phoenix Of Spain out of Be My Lady and may go close on debut. In the mix. KEEP TWISTING (5) faces the starter for the first time. Profiles well for this by Capri out of Arms Of Orion and is worth keeping very safe. Warrants serious consideration. BETTY'S GLEN (4) shapes as a player by Affinisea out of Bonnemine. Might sneak into the finish when resuming. Worth including.
