This looks a wide open maiden but after showing a lot of progress from his first to second run STREET ENTERTAINER looks the best call ahead of Whistleinthewind, who has shaped well in a couple of starts and Lady Of Akita looks the most interesting newcomer. A switch to this track seemed to do the trick of the selection last time after he stepped from a solid debut to find just one too good. He may have even scored but for a sluggish start that day so with that little bit more experience in the tank he can go in this time. Whistleinthewind ran a really promising debut when second best before placing when an even money favourite over course and distance last time. It looks like he may have bumped into a couple of good types during that run and it's too early to rule him out. Lady Of Akita has a top class pedigree but hails from a stable whose runners often need their opening outing and Valid Reason represents top connections so should also go well on debut. This looks all about potential and after a progressive start to his career the verdict goes to Street Entertainer.
