This is a very poor maiden that could throw up an upset but recent efforts point towards BILASH and Nadinska, with the former preferred. Reg Hollinshead's charge is officially rated 66 following a decent effort in handicap company when behind Superior Edge (runs in the 16:10) and that performance suggested he'd win something if it can be built upon. Whether it can remains to be seen but cut in the ground and sprint trips represent ideal conditions so he gets a token vote. Nadinska has a bit to find on the figures but has remained consistent of late and once had a high reputation. She should be good enough to land some kind of prize and connections have found her a fine opportunity. Aalsmeer has Listed form to her name but that was as a juvenile and she hasn't reproduced it since while Brewers Boy is at least unexposed but he needs this for a mark and may require further.
