        Verdict

        Olympic Dream makes the most appeal on the evidence available and sets a good standard. Sampower Rose has the benefit of a run and is the most appealing from the others with experience, while her stablemate, Moorhouse Lass, is bred to like this sort of trip so any confidence in the betting ring would be dangerous to ignore. Others to note for future reference include: Demand, who has a handy draw in stall one but judging by her pedigree will be suited by slightly further before too long. Age Of Demand also looks to be more of a long term prospect and will be interesting as he gains in knowledge. However, Olympic Dream is the obvious one to side with for the present time, as a rating of 82 virtually assures that he will be going hell-for-leather to make this a good test. The son of Kyllachy still holds a couple of fancy entries and will need to post a winning effort if he is going to be a serious contender for something like Redcar's Two-Year-Old Trophy after this.
