      Verdict

      Epiphany gets the call in the opener ahead of Emerald Bay and Branston Lily. The selection finished second on his debut at Ascot despite running green and that seemed like a fair maiden event. Normal improvement from that run should see him land race of this nature. Emerald Bay has to be respected, hailing from the Mark Johnston stable, while Branston Lily is a half-sister by Cadeaux Genereux to multiple winner Branston Tiger and Mintlaw is a half-sister to three juvenile winners. However, Epiphany sets the standard at which they have to aim and, accordingly, get the vote.
