Alecia, Anthea and Smart Pick look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote is given to Alecia. The selection was a fair third behind Poppets Sweetlove a couple of runs ago before disappointing in a handicap. This looks her easiest task to date and from s good draw looks the one to be on. Anthea rates the main danger on her best form but she has had plenty of chances and is becoming hard to win with. Smart Pick was a fair third behind Kirstys Lad last time out but the drop in trip has to be a concern. Of the remainder Nawayea has been done no favors by the draw and for the winner we return to Alecia
