33/1
Showed very little in a pair of maidens in 2017 when trained by Hugo Palmer and sold for just 2,500 gns in May.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe
11/2
First foal, dam won on debut over 6f and is a half-sister to decent Mazzini. Bred to be speedy and looks to have found a suitable opportunity on debut.

33/1
Fourth foal, dam was a winning sprinter and related to winners at 5 and 6f. Should come on for recent debut but was quickly sold out of James Tate's yard for 6,500 gns.

Learned from debut when strong finishing third at Southwell last week in a similar event over 5f and this return to 6f looks a big plus. Looks set to play a part.

50/1, never figured on debut here last month and on that evidence is easily passed over today.

13/8
Finished 3L ahead of More Salutes when both made their debut earlier in the month and like that one has since been sold from James Tate, in his case fetching £20,000.

Some promise on debut but disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton subsequently and something to prove after that though the return to 6f now might help.

10/1
Cost 825,000 gns as a yearling but showed little in a pair of maidens last winter and absent since. Cheek pieces for the first time and they really need to inspire.

First Link37
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: Jean-Rene Auvray

Pulled too hard on second start and on that score the drop down to 6f here might help but not too easy to assess.

Tailed off after a slow start on Bath debut in August and impossible to fancy on the evidence of that.

Minuty
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: Rae Guest
7/1
50,000 gns first foal. Dam was a winning sprinter from a good family and this newcomer is well bred for a speed test

Suttonwood Sally82

100/1
Debut in this sphere but tailed off last in a pair of bumpers and impossible to fancy in this very different test.

Forecasts

Sunshine Coast (13/8), Tamerlane (5/1), Merchant Of Venice (11/2), Minuty (7/1), Poeta Brasileiro (9/1), Dirayah (10/1), First Link (16/1), Altered Method (33/1), More Salutes (33/1), Storm Boy (66/1), Maddi (80/1), Suttonwood Sally (100/1)

Verdict

On paper a very weak looking maiden and no surprise should newcomers figure prominently with MERCHANT OF VENICE getting the nod ahead of Minuty although the market should tell us plenty. Poeta Brasileiro looks best of those with experience.
  1. Merchant Of Venice
  2. Minuty
  3. Poeta Brasileiro
