Verdict

Although a disappointing favourite last time out True Companion has the class to land his first win here in this less than competitive maiden. He is the TEAMtalk selection. The rest are pretty poor or have big question marks against them. Giust In Temp raced for Luca Cumani last year and showed some signs of ability. He could spring a surprise at a decent price. Guardian Spirit looks intersting stepping up in trip and as he is bred to stay this far may be worth a look in the market. Jade's Promise will at least stay this far and could be worth a look for each-way value.
