Newmarket handler Neville Callaghan has made a bright start to the season with his juveniles so newcomer Rodeo Drive, a Spectrum colt from the family of top speedsters Royal Applause and Lyric Fantasy, is worthy of respect, particularly with the significant booking of Dettori. Richard Hannon saddles both Glanbehy and Alexa and jockey bookings would suggest the former, a daughter of General Monash out of a winning miler by Efisio, is the first string but neither can be expected to be fully tuned up for their debut. Experience counts for plenty in this type of event and both Carna and Queen's Gift should improve having already shown promise but the vote goes to Mount Hillaby. The Barry Hills-trained daughter of Mujadil ran a most encouraging race to finish five lengths fifth of 11 behind the smart Wunder's Dream at Newmarket on his debut. Not knocked about on that occasion, he can only progress and should prove difficult to beat in this company.
