Verdict
Saeed bin Suroor has a good strike rate with the few runners he sends here and the yard have two in this fillies' maiden. Both are by Invincible Spirit and a victory for either wouldn't be a surprise but we just prefer BLUE MOOD, who cost 160,000gns and has more speed in her pedigree than Eleventh Hour. Tautira is possibly the pick of those with experience having finished second at Lingfield last month, though she disappointed over an extra furlong last time. This may be too sharp for Pontefract fourth Flighty Peaches while State Anthem could do better in handicaps.
