Verdict

Indication can make a winning debut over fellow newcomer Yandina, with Miss Thailand, Lady Stardust and Namoos the other main protagonists. Indication is a Sadler's Wells filly and a half-sister to Stronghold, so will primed to enhance her paddock value while on the track. Recent homework has by all accounts been encouraging enough to give her the vote at the first time of asking over the Barry Hills runner Yandina. She cost 250,000euros and is also well-related so will be expected to acquit herself well despite inexperience. Miss Thailand met plenty of trouble in running on her reappearance at Nottingham in May and has been off since. She should go well when stepped up in trip in time. Lady Stardust, a daughter of Spinning World, may need more time but hails from a top yard, while Namoos has failed to progress as much as expected but definitely has ability. Indication should have a bright future and can get off to the best possible start.
