Bryan Smart has a good bunch of two-year-old's and Grecian Slave is fancied to make a winning debut; Eton Rifles, Midnight Muse and Step This Way. The last-named warrants plenty of respect coming from a stable who know the time of day with their juveniles and should be monitored for support in the market, however Grecian Dreams represents a trainer in good nick and can add another notch to his roster of juvenile winners. This son of Spartacus should be at home on the soft ground and he gets the vote. Elusive Deal didn't improve from her first to second runs and therefore cannot be recommended, whilst Isent She Rich looks a player based on his debut second. Eton Rifles and Tarkheena Prince are two more newcomers who warrant a check in the betting, however of more interest may be Midnight Muse. He made a pleasing debut when third at Catterick and should improve for the experience; the same applies to Rapidity. The betting will be a help, however without that information we will side with Grecian Slave.
