Verdict
Richard Hannon's PIECE OF MIND sets the standard in this maiden and with the yards juveniles still firing she gets the call. The filly has shown plenty of promise in her last two runs and there's bit of her pedigree that suggests she should handle the polytrack well. Celtic Sixpence has found the one too good in both starts to date and should feature again but might have to play second fiddle while Whitecrest might be value for the places after two solid runs including on Kempton's Polytrack. A tricky start to the card but Piece Of Mind offers just that.
