      Verdict

      Pha Mai Blue gets the vote in this desperate maiden with where¿s Dids and Restless Genius rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Sir George last time out that form sets the standard in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this. Where's Dids rates the main danger as she is a well bred filly by Piccolo and hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer so should be watched in the market. Restless Genius shaped with a little promise on her debut last season and should improve so should go well at a price. Espy was third behind Ben last time out but will be handicapped after this run and that is his future may lie. The market will be very informative here but Pha Mai Blue sets a fair standard and looks the one to be on.
