On paper, the bloodlines are interesting. The sire A'Ali was a seriously quick horse in his day, one of the fastest juveniles in Britain, and he tends to pass on that early pace to his offspring. The dam's side adds a dash of Aclaim, another speed influence, which suggests 00kelapa could be built for short, sharp races rather than staying the distance over a longer trip. Whether that translates to the track is the whole point of a first run.
What does give confidence is the trainer. Hugo Palmer's yard in Malpas, Cheshire has sent out 66 winners already this season — that is a serious number, and it reflects a team that knows how to get horses ready to run. When Palmer sends a first-time runner out, it is worth paying attention.
