Verdict

There is little to choose between the trio of Belinsky, Sweet Mirasol and West Leake Star judged by official BHA ratings but PRINCE OF VASA is an interesting newcomer trained by Saeed Bin Suroor and with the yard's runners continuing in good form, the son of Kheleyf is taken to make a winning debut. Simon Callaghan's Belinsky made a pleasing first start on the Fibresand in a similar contest last month and makes more appeal than Kevin Ryan's Sweet Mirasol, who has been largely disappointing so far. West Leake Star has run much better in his last two starts and could be of interest for Barry Hills. James Given's Cape Kimberley made a pleasing debut over course and distance and makes more appeal than Mark Johnston's Comedy Hall, who needs to improve dramatically from his debut effort but most of the yard's two-year-olds do tend to step up from their first start. Prince Of Vasa has yet to race in public but Godolphin's runners are in good form and Saeed Bin Suroor is more than capable of getting one ready first time out and he can do so here.
