Virtuosity gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Imperial Soldier and Rebellious Spirit rating the main dangers. The selection is a well-bred filly by Pivotal who hails from a top yard and she will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut. Imperial Solider rates the main danger as he is another well-bred type and comes from a yard that has its share of first time out winners, but his pedigree suggests he will be better over further and for that reason he is opposed. Rebellious Spirit is another worthy of respect as at least he has experience on his side and he looks sure to improve so he should be noted in the market. This is a trappy race and the market will be very informative but for the winner we return to Virtuosity.
