Gerald Ryan-trained colt Aviator created a good impression, winning nicely here on debut. He settled back in eighth place after starting from barrier nine, fanned deep on straightening and moved up well to challenge on passing the 200m. He got to the front at the 100m and went on for a good win, appearing to score with something in hand, despite racing a little greenly in the straight. David Payne-trained Ocean City was last in the ten-horse field to the home turn, stuck to the rails and got through in the closing stages for a good second at debut. The Reverend Demon, a colt from the Bjorn Baker stable, showed good pace to lead, held the front-running until the 100m and fought on well for a nice third, also putting up a sound debut effort.
