A wide open maiden gets proceedings underway and as usual in these events the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Latin Class, Elna Bright and Rebel Aclaim and the narrow vote is given to Latin Class. The selection was a fair second on his debut behind Luteniant Pidheon, is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement he looks the one to be on. Elna Bright rates the main danger on his debut third behind Regal Rythmn but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and is taken on with this in mind. Rebel Aclaim is another that could go well but he did not progress as expected last time and again he looks vulnerable. Of the remainder Bid Art is well bred and should be watched in the market with his yard in form, but for the winner we return to Latin Class.
