One Great Idea,Blue Azure and Navigation look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and there vote is given to One Great Idea. The selection was a fair fifth behind Why Now in a handicap last time out, this looks easier and he need only reproduce that effort to score. Blue Azure rates the main danger as he showed he was capable of winning a little race of this nature in two runs last season but he may just need the run after a 283 day absence and for that reason he is opposed. Navigation is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind Alabama Twist but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion so the drop in distance has to be a concern. Of the remainder Beverley Beau is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to One Great Idea.
