Karoush can land this at the expense of Strawberry Moon and Presvis. The selection ran well to finish third on his debut behind Aqlaam. He ran a little green that day so is entitled to improve for the experience and if doing so will take all the beating. Strawberry Moon has been running well in defeat finishing second on both her starts to date. She was running on one paced in the closing stages at Hamilton suggesting that this extra furlong will be in her favour so she is treated with respect. As is Presvis who was third of thirteen in a Haydock maiden on his debut so is one for the short list again. A competitive maiden to solve but for the winner we return to Karoush.
