A decent renewal of this Group 3 contest which revolves around CRYSTAL OCEAN, who was a progressive three-year-old and, given his top trainer's record of improving horses, promises to develop into a top-class perfomer this season. He should be too classy for these rivals, although the consistent Fabricate should give him a race and Morando is respected on his fist start for a new stable.
