In depth
Verdict
A poor turnout for this two-year-old maiden that may fall to Weet Yer Tern, with Edge Found and Alvarinho Lady given as possible dangers. It is imperative to inspect the betting market before getting too involved in this contest, but certainly on pedigree the selection does catch the eye. He is by Brave Act out of a Macs Imp mare so is bred for speed. He cost 35 thousand euros as a yearling so is one of the more expensive purchases and another plus is the form of the Paul Blockley yard. Edge Found is trained by Rod Millman who often sends out early juvenile winners so this son of Bold Edge is well worth a mention. Alvarinho Lady is also bred to be a speedy sort being by Royal Applause. As we have mentioned the betting market will be most informative but without the benefit of that guide, we will take a chance on Weet Yer Tern
