Verdict

This maiden should turn into a match between FASCINATION and Best Intent with the verdict landing with the former. Michael Bell's filly is closely related to some smart types and her latest two runs when finding one too good set the standard. Best Intent also has very useful relations but Michael Jarvis' charge has had plenty of chances now. Outside this pair Astound looks the only other in with a realistic chance after a solid debut for this yard but he'll need to really step up on that to beat Fascination.
