Withdrawn
Top Man Tee gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Mina A Salem and Princelet rating the main dangers. The selection has shown enough in two runs to date to suggest he can win a race of this nature and a reproduction of his latest third behind Pride Of Nation sets the standard in the context of this race and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Min A Salem rates the main danger on his best form but he has not progressed as expected and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Princelet is another that could go well as he was a fair third behind Wild Savanna this looks easier and he is another with definite place claims. Jack Rolfe is another that has shown a modicum of ability and could go well but he has given the impression he would be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Lucidus is a well bred sort from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Top Man Tee who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
