Verdict
This is a moderate maiden and ELZAAMSAN is unlikely to get a better chance. He's been narrowly beaten in all three starts on the track and had Razdan over eight lengths behind when runner-up to Seattle Creek last month and should have no problems seeing off that rival. Douglas Dc has had a couple of placed efforts in bumpers but Don't Be Angry will probably provide the main threat after a good run here in November when only half-a-length behind runner-up Seattle Creek.
