In depth

Verdict

Another maiden here and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Majestic Marauder Might Be Magic and Moville and the tentative vote is given to Majestic Marauder. The selection is a regally bred colt by War Chant his yards youngsters are beginning to hit top form and under conditions that should suit he is taken to score. Might Be Magic rates the main danger as his stable can do no wrong at present and this colt by Fraam should be watched in the market but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time. Moville is another that catches the eye on breeding but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Silver Rime should be suited by conditions and could go well at a price but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Majestic Marauder to small stakes.
