Verdict

Firewalker, Super Tuscan and Lambrini Lace look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the narrow vote is given to Firewalker. The selection has been in good form of late without winning but a reproduction of his latest fourth behind Mission Impossible sets a fair standard in the context of this race, and he need only run up to that mark to score. Super Tuscan rates the main danger on his latest third behind Yamanmickmccan. The drop in trip looks sure to suit and he should be watched in the market. Lambrini Lace is another with chances on his latest third behind Vahillen but he is more exposed than most. Of the others Seductive Witch is from a yard in form and should be watched in the market while Jastaanhi has shown promise in the past and could go well off his light weight but for the winner we return to Firewalker.
