Verdict
A maiden handicap is not the best betting medium, but Mykeyta looks to have a tremendous chance at the weights and gets the nod over Drawn Out and Monte Mayor Junior. James Given's filly dead-heated for second behind easy winner Petrichan last time out. That was her first run on the all-weather so improvement can be expected and she looks the best option. Monte Mayor Junior finished a lot closer to Petrichan when they met here last month, however he does have to give seven pounds to our selection who may just have his measure. Drawn Out is an interesting runner, he has plenty to find on the book on recent performances, but on the best of his turf form he comes out as one of the leading contenders at the weights. Jazz At The Sands may do best of the others, but our idea of the winner is Myketa.
