BOWSTAR looks the safest option in an uninspiring maiden. She was beaten a couple of lengths over C&D last time but has a few pounds to spare with most of these judged on her current mark and rates the selection on that basis. Irish import Honky Tonk Queen is the dark horse after a couple of modest efforts over shorter trips including a sixth at Dundalk while the likes of Transfix and Tijuca have some improving to do to figure. Stablemates Zaminate and Cape Crossing were both well beaten on their respective debuts though the latter makes most appeal on jockey bookings.
