2/1

Won 8-runner maiden at this course (5.7f, good to soft, 11/4) on debut 18 days ago, well on top finish. Should have more to offer and has to be a threat under a penalty.

Forecasts

Royal Aclaim (10/11), Spangled Mac (2/1), Frisky (17/2), Pepsi Cat (17/2), Whats In The Bag (12/1), Sir Philip (25/1), Stella's Charlie (125/1), Threeways Bruce (150/1)

ROYAL ACLAIM had the smart Perfect Power behind when making a winning debut at Newcastle a year ago. She's been off the track since but is in good hands and there has to be a good chance she will outclass these. Fellow-debut winner Spangled Mac is an obvious threat, with the speedy Pepsi Cat also interesting over 5f.
