In depth

Verdict

Snoqualmie Boy showed plenty of promise on his debut and gets the decision here ahead of Ohana and Appreciated. David Elsworth's horses tend to improve for racing and Snoqualmie Boy who was very green when finishing fourth behind Well Armed here last time, should come on a bundle. Ohana has earned a rating in the seventies following some very decent efforts. That would be good enough to win plenty of Lingfield maidens and he will be hard to keep out of the money today. Appreciated is steadily getting the hang of things and must be respected in this company. Any money for the newcomer It's A Dream would be interesting, but on this occasion we will side with his stable companion Snoqualmie Boy.
