Colorado Rapid, Emerald Wilderness and Dark Energy look the three to concentrate on in this maiden with the vote going to Emerald Wilderness. The selection has had plenty of chances but he has been unlucky on occasions and as he has race fitness on his side compared to his main rival he is taken to get his head in front. Cokarado Rapid rates the main danger as he was a good second on his debut behind Amazing Request he is sure to improve and could be anything but he may just ned the run after a 224 day abscence and he is taken on with this in mind. Dark Energy is another that could go well on his debut third behind Hohletheloanly but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Jawaab is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Emerald Wilderness who is given one last chance to get his head in front.
