        Verdict

        Jennie Jerome is the suggestion here although, once again, the market should help to clear the muddy waters. The selection ran well enough on debut in October without setting the world alight but the form of that Newmarket maiden could hardly have worked out much better. Five of the seven horses to finish in front of her have gone on to win races and there should be plenty more to come from this Pivotal filly as she matures. Theory is a half-sister to the smart Stronghold and should be all the better for her initial experience where she enjoyed little luck in running but still finished half a dozen lengths in front of New Havens. Victoria Reel finished down the field in the maiden won by Infallible last year but wasn't beaten far and has to be considered. Jennie Jerome rates the selection but we do advise you to keep an eye on the action in the ring.
