This is another tricky maiden for punters to fathom and we will side with Oriental Dance to get the better of Millisecond and Penny Post. The selection is the Godolphin representative here and she is related to Oriental Warrior, a dual 6-7f winner as a 2-year-old. She looks the part on breeding and consequently gets our vote to make a winning racecourse debut. Millisecond is clearly the best of those with racecourse experience and she has shown plenty of promise on each of her two starts to date. She wasn't given a hard race at Leicester last time when she may have found the ground too testing. She had previously run well on her debut and a reproduction of that effort should see her make the frame. Penny Post is certainly bred to make her mark in a contest such as this and although the yard is not renowned for first time out 2-year-old winners, they do have their fair share and she is not without a chance. Fabine is another interesting newcomer and is worth a look in the market, but for the winner we are happy to return to Oriental Dance.
