Has run to a fair level both starts to date, a never-nearer fourth of 13 in a 6f maiden here 8 days ago. Remains with potential given step back up in trip is likely to suit.

Improved on debut form when second of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (1m) 22 days ago, only narrowly denied by another promising type. Holds a Group 1 entry and he's the one to beat with further progress to come.

60,000 gns 2-y-o. Study of Man colt who shaped as if needing the experience when sixth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) on debut 33 days ago. Should have more to offer.

€200,000 breeze-up purchase but shaped as if he would benefit from his first outing when seventh of 18 in maiden at Naas (6f) in July. Could see a better showing this time around.

Foaled April 27. 45,000 gns yearling, Zarak gelding out of Group 1-winning mare. Closely related to 7.6f winner Narak and very smart 1m-9f winner Valiant Prince, and half-brother to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Klassique. Worth betting check on debut.

Foaled May 4. Frankel colt. Dam, 1m listed winner, sister to smart winner up to 1ÂĽm Antilles. Of obvious interest on debut given yard and pedigree.

22,000 gns yearling, €50,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart French 6f/7f winner Spinning Memories (by Arcano) and smart winner up to 7f Ramazan (2-y-o 5f/6f winner, by Kodiac). Dam unraced. Should have a future but doesn't strike as an obvious debut winner.

€12,000 foal, €28,000 yearling, Persian Force gelding outran long odds when fourth of 15 in minor event at this course (6.3f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago. Learned on the job there and he holds place claims, for all this looks a competitive race.

Hmas Perth (30/100), Invincible Mind (7/1), Cracks And Sparks (8/1), The Windhover (11/1), Heralds March (14/1), Paraguay (16/1), Wo Wo Never (18/1), Muscogee Nation (25/1), Nonsense (33/1), Scrap The Lot (33/1), A Lovely Manoeuvre (125/1), Johntom (250/1), Boxwood Hill (250/1)

Verdict

HMAS PERTH sets a clear standard on the form of his Doncaster second and he looks the obvious pick to go one place better. Stablemate Paraguay is much respected on debut, with Cracks And Sparks also on the shortlist.
