Greek Renaissance, Evident Pride and Indian Ballet look the three to concentrate on in this maiden with the confident vote going to Greek Renaissance. The selection was a fair sixth in a better race behind Bosset last time out, this looks easier and in the hope that he acts on the surface he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Evident Pride rates the main danger on his latest third behind Days Of My Life. That form has since been franked and he will not be far away. Indian Ballet is another that could go well as he was hampered behind Yellow Card last time but this looks easier and if he gets a clear run he will be a danger to all. Of the remainder, Nightstrike is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Greek Renaissance.
