An intriguing maiden which features a number of promising types on paper, and this race is likely to be a one which will produce plenty of future winners. Nevertheless, in terms of the present, it's effectively a case of starting all over again for the connections of Oden and Ouja. Both horses were well found in the market ahead of their respective debuts, but for one reason or another produced no show and are evidently thought capable of much better. Saroog is a newcomer of interest should the market speak in his favour, but both Lynique and WHITE DESERT are likely to feature more prominently in the thoughts of punters. The selection has a most attractive pedigree (brother to Amazing Red, and a half-brother to Red Cadeaux) so this wide, galloping track looks an ideal starting point for a colt who represents powerful connections.
