Flower Garland won a fillies only maiden race over track and trip last month while Point Reyes was successful in a nursery here in November. AERCLUB is another course and distance winner having made a successful debut when beating the potentially useful Dune Of Pilat. Henry De Bromhead’s colt gets the vote on the strength of that form given the runner-up has won both subsequent starts. Joseph O’Brien trains Dune Of Pilat and runs the likely improver Line Judge in this. She may well prove the biggest danger to the selection with the remaining pair hard to recommend.
