6/1
Perfect start when winning 7-runner maiden at this course (7f, soft) on debut 31 days ago, always holding on and value for extra. Step up in trip not sure to suit but he's open to progress.

Foaled April 22. Kameko colt. Half-brother to 11.4f winner City Spirit. Dam maiden (stayed 1¾m). Of obvious interest on debut given yard he represents.

Improved on his turf form when second of 9 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago. Represents in-form yard but could do with settling down a bit.

Promising sort. Second of 7 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1) on debut 25 days ago, very slowly away. Could improve a fair amount on that.

Forecasts

Magical Merlot (10/11), Only In Manila (9/4), Quarter (6/1), Fans Favourite (8/1), Cape Fear (16/1), October Surprise (33/1), Storm Terri (300/1)

Verdict

ONLY IN MANILA shaped nicely after a tardy start when second at Southwell 3 weeks ago and sure to be more streetwise this time, he looks the way to go. Magical Merlot and Quarter are the obvious threats.
