Verdict
This maiden is restricted to locally-bred colts and geldings and the standard doesn’t look particularly high. Hot Socks probably has the best form but has only placed once in four attempts and is the most exposed. He’s taken on with Sean McCarthy’s Smiling Tiger newcomer SCARY FAST SMILE. Agamemnon can also get involved and it would be no surprise to see Kingofjesters in the firing-line as well.
