BREATH CAUGHT was a winner last time out and the form of that race has been franked by the second, third and sixth since. He may not only be well-handicapped, but there's a good chance he will improve and he'll be hard to beat if he does. Intense Pleasure is another well-handicapped sort who could improve on handicap debut. Bertog brings course form to the table after a good third here last year and that form shouldn't be underestimated.
