The subject of betting support on debut and acquitted himself well in finishing 4th on this course over 2400m on 25 September. Would've gained from that experience

Race Overview
Well-bred Dubawi gelding, out of Group I Prix du Cadran winner Molly Malone, BRADSHAW (12) will be all the rage on his racecourse debut and, on pedigree alone, is worth chancing to get off to a winning start. JANNAH PEARL (9) has the form and experience to expose any chinks in that rival's armor. WINTERVOGEL (3) and L'AMIE LARISSA (10) made encouraging introductions and would've come on with that experience, so they shouldn't be underestimated either.
Selection:
12 - 9 - 3
