Dont Dili Dali should take the world of beating and is given the confident vote in this maiden with Billich and Ebony Lord put forward as the most likely dangers. The selection has proved expensive to follow so far and has finished second on each of her last three starts. However, she still looks to be progressing and she did little wrong when second behind Creative Mind last time. This is not a strong race and she should be too good for her rivals. Billich is from a yard that have enjoyed a great deal of success with their 2-year-olds this season, but this colt was disappointing last time and with plenty still to prove we are happy to take him on today. Ebony Lord was well-beaten behind Tour D'Amour last time but this colt has only had two runs and the likelihood is that there is still plenty more to come. Mataram is an interesting newcomer from a top yard and is worth noting in the market, but we will stick with Dont Dili Dali who is taken to lead them home.
