A very mediocre maiden, in which some of the field clearly wouldn't be competitive even with a start of 100 yards. The list of potential winners is a short one which includes Limato's much less talented half-sister Limoncino. She should perform with credit assuming she handles the switch from Tapeta to Fibresand. The well-being of the long time absent Jack The Truth is taken on trust, so the selection is the already Southwell proven, Mick Easterby trained LADIES FIRST. She is bred for sprinting (a sister to Hoof It), and viable competitive opposition is very thin on the ground today.
