Son of Paco Boy making belated debut. Related to some winners but already gelded and passed over provided there's no significant market support.

2/5
Small signs of temperament issues on first two starts but he can be forgiven that and he's been given a mid-season break. Sets a decent standard on form and there's likely to be more to come for a trainer with a 42.86% at the track (3-7).

7/1
More exposed than the rest of these and has disappointed as favourite the last twice (long odds-on last time). Official rating may flatter him a little but this doesn't look like a strong maiden and he's unlikely to need improvement to be in the first three.

9/2
Half-sister to several winners including the 5f-6f winner Miss Anabaa. Good second on debut and capable of progression but the form of that race wouldn't appear to be the strongest on first viewing.

20/1 sixth of nine on debut last time. Didn't show enough there to warrant consideration in what looks like a stronger race.

Very disappointing in two starts to date, ninth of 10 on both occasions and likely to do better when handicapping.

Forecasts

Kowaiyess (2/5), Midnightly (9/2), Three C's (7/1), Tartufo Classico (25/1), Tooty Fruitti (33/1), Vicky Park (50/1)

Verdict

In what looks like a weak maiden, it's hard to get away from the claims of KOWALYESS. The gelding has shown enough in his first two career starts to suggest that he's capable of a performance worthy of taking this. Three C's has disappointed in several of his starts but within the context of this race, he should be able to give a good account. Midnightly was an eye-catching second on her debut and has claims if she can build on that.
