Bedouin Blue, Munaa and Prime Meridian look the three to concentrate on in this maiden race and the confident vote is given to Bedouin Blue. The selection was a fair second behind Fruit Salad last time out and although he is unproven on this surface he is bred to be suited by it and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Munaa rates the main danger on his latest third behind Maroussies Wings but that horse like the selection is trained by Patrick Haslam so he should know where he stands. Primer Meridian is another that could go well but he will need to improve on his debut effort to trouble the principals. Of the remainder Grey Paint is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Bedouin Blue.
