    Verdict

    Just the four runners for this maiden but the one that catches the eye is Cyclical who can score from Howard's Princess. The Gerard Butler-trained filly has never run before but has to be of interest as she is a half-sister by Pivotal to Soar, one of the season's leading juvenile fillies. It could be that her trainer has found a good opening for her on her debut and, if having inherited anywhere near the ability of her sibling, must go well. Bond Babe was second in what was a run-of-the-mill maiden last time while Howard's Princess has run well on both starts and probably just shades things formwise of those to have run. With Nee Lemon Left not having shown that much to date, we spin back to Cyclical, who gets the call.
