This should be a very competitive maiden with the likes of Rebel City, Defector and GEORGE THISBY expected to battle it out at the front and our pick goes to the latter. The gelding has been in great heart since debuting back in March and has the pace to play a leading role here. Rebel City is another decent sort but seems to have taken a dip in form recently. That said it should be a much simpler task for the colt and a place among the minors looks to be in the offing. Defector is another potential threat. The colt has yet to win in seven starts but has shown enough ability to warrant consideration in such a modest heat.
