Verdict

This doesn't appear to be a strong maiden and Graceful Descent looks the obvious form choice, Red Cauldron and Reel Buddy Star could provide most danger. Richard Fahey's filly was just touched off in a heavy ground York maiden on her debut. She will find this company less taxing and if she handles the different ground conditions she should land first prize. Reel Buddy Star could be the pick of the newcomers. Tom Tate is no stranger to first time out winners and any market move for this son of Reel Buddy should be noted. Red Cauldron has been placed in two decent enough maidens and should again pick up some minor money. The rest of the experienced runners need to improve and so we return to Graceful Descent for the seelction.
