      Verdict

      he Galloping Shoe, North South Divide and Zaarmit look the three to concentrate on in this maiden with the narrow vote going to The Galloping Shoe. The selection hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and this gelding by Observatory will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. North South Divide rates the main danger as he has experience on his side and was a fair second behind Granary last time out. However he may be seen to better effect in handicaps over a longer trip. Zaarmit is another that could go well as he is a colt by Xaar and should be watched in the market while Kitto Katsu has ability but looks a hard ride and this course may not suit and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to The Galloping Shoe.
