Verdict

SHIELDMAIDEN went close on her debut on the turf here, but it was an even better effort to finish runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and she gets the nod to open her account today. Stars In Your Eyes was seven lengths behind the selection on her first start and stablemate House Of Mirrors could prove a bigger threat on his belated debut as he cost 390,000 dollars as a yearling. Nonaynever, Archelao and Mon Petit Bijou were all beaten out of sight in the same maiden at Nottingham last month and Empyrean has shown nothing so far. Heatherbird has place claims on her best form.
