Adelfia gets the confident vote in this maiden with Piety and Miss Trinidad rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fifth behind Kaylaani last time out, that form looks solid in the context of this race and with improvement likely he will be hard to beat. Piety rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing when only fifth behind Zero last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Miss Trinidad is another that could go well on her latest second behind Farringdon and with the step up in trip sure to suit she should be noted in the market.Of the remainder Phebe and Raucous are others to have shown ability but may do better once handicapped and in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Adelfia.
