Verdict

Bright Mind, Harry Tricker and Split The Wind look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote is given to Bright Mind. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Broomielaw. That form looks solid and with improvement likely under similar conditions he is hard to oppose. Harry Tricker rates the main danger on his latest third Opal Haze but he is more exposed than the selection and is taken on with this in mind. Split The Wind is aniother that could go well but she has had plenty of chances and may be seen to better effeect in a handicap over a longer trip. Of the remainder Demolition has shown promise on the All-Weather but has yet to try his hand on turf and with this in mind for the winner we return to Bright Mind.
