A wide open maiden rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be very informitive but the principals look to be Arithmatix, Stalking Tiger and Areyaam and the tentative nomination is given to Arithmatix. The selection has shown enough in two runs to date notably when sixth behind Gongidas in a better race last time out. This looks easier and he need only run up to that mark to score. Stalking Tiger rates the main danger on his debut seventh behind Winter Sunrise he looks sure to improve and should be watched in the market. Areyaam is another that could go well on his debut third behind Contentious. He is another that should improve but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder, Montrachet is another that has ran well in the past but he will be handicapped after this run and that is where his future may lie and with this in mind for the winner we return to Arithmatix.
