Verdict

Third Dimension is the only one of these with previous racecourse experience and the fact that he started favourite at Leopardstown last month suggests he's capable of better. But Ballydoyle has dominated this maiden in recent years and AUSTRALIA looks well up to standard being by Galileo out of the brilliant Ouija Board and a half-brother to a couple of winners. The Manduro colt Kerkeni is also nicely bred, as is Dai Bando, while Leafcutter is preferred to Mick Halford's pair Political Policy and Warbird of the remainder.
