Verdict
Gulf Coast, Dream Express and Stateside look the three to concentrate on in division two of the maiden and the confident vote is given to Gulf Coast. The selection was a fair third behind Rubirosa last time out, form that has since been franked and with his yard in form he will be hard to beat. Dream Express rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Bigfanofthat. He looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and should be watched in the market. Stateside is another that could go well as she is a well bred filly By El Corredor but the suspicion is she may come on for the experiance. Ginger Pickle is another that catches the eye on breeding and should be wtahced in the market while Madison Heights ran with promise on his debut and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Gulf Coast who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
