Verdict

A trappy maiden here with very little public form to go on and the market will be very informative but without that knowledge the principals look to be Count Almaviva, Handcuff and Dancing Wave and the narrow vote is given to Count Almaviva. The selection hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and this well bred colt by Rossini out of a Storm Cat mare is taken to make a winning debut. Handcuff rates the main danger as he hails from a yard that is in form and this colt by Lend A Hand should be watched in the market. Dancing Wave showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is sure to improve but that was not a very good race. Bad Beat is bred to come into his own over further and for the winner we return to Count Almaviva.
