Enactment, Exhibition and Annaba's Secret look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the tentative vote is given to Enactment. The selection showed promise on his debut in a much better race and he looks sure to learn plenty for that introduction. If he can step-up on that effort then he should take plenty of beating. Exhibition rates the main danger on his debut third behind Rio de La Plata. That looked a decent maiden and he is another that is sure to improve so he should be watched in the market. Annaba's Secret is another that ran with promise on his debut but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Lake Sabina has run with promise in each of his three outings to date and he is another that could go well, but the reality is that he is more exposed than most of these. We are therefore happy to return to Enactment as our idea of the winner.
