In a modest opener, Eau Good gets the vote ahead of Perlachy and, possibly, Doric Charm. Second on soft going to Makshoof on his debut, Eau Good has to be considered today. Kunte Kinteh has shown promise at five and seven furlongs and now tries six, while Perlachy has been knocking at the door in maiden company and, with form rating in the 70s, has to be considered. Despite having shown some ability, Eager Igor probably needs to improve a bit if he is to score, while Osteopathic Remedy is possibly one to watch for in the betting, and Sir Mark Prescott's Hopeful Isabella is surely better than she showed on her debut. Para Siempre showed promise on her soft-ground debut (and watch for how the fourth from that race, Reem Al Salah, ran at Yarmouth on Tuesday), and Doric Charm certainly has something to like on breeding. Overall, though, we will just side with Eau Good.
