In depth

Verdict

Victory Spirit,Chin Wag and Pas de Trois are three against the field in this maiden and the vote is given to Victory Spirit. The selection was affair fourth on his debut behind Divine Right and with that experience behind him he is sure to have improved and will be hard ton beat. Chin Wag rates the main danger as he is a well bred Iron Mask colt out of a lightly-raced mare fro m a yard that can ready a 2 year-old and he should be noted in the market. Pas de Trois is another that could go well as he showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is sure to improve but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Teen Ager is a Invincible Spirit colt, half-brother to 1m1f & 1m4f winner Tarwila and is another to monitor in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Victory Spirit who is taken to put his experience to good use.
