Verdict
Baker Of Oz, Bond Moonlight and Hawkit look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote goes to Baker of Oz. The selection was a good second behind Certifiable last time and a reproduction of that effort should suffice here. Bond Moonlight rates the main danger on his latest second behind Golden Quest but he is not sure to be suited by the drop in trip and for that reason is opposed. Hawkit is also worthy of respect he was second behind Book Matched last time but he is more exposed than most and is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Zuloago showed improved form to be third last time and if she improved again she would have definite place claims but for the winner we return to Baker Of Oz.
