A hot maiden in which Navajo Joe can be taken on with Visions Of Johanna. Navajo Joe was very well backed when finishing second to the useful Bramaputra at Haydock. He's well related, held in high regard, did nothing wrong last time, is well drawn and won't remain a maiden for long. All those positives mean that we should get a decent price about our selection who hasn't fared so well with the luck of the draw. He was no match for a hot-pot from the Brian Meehan stable (the market should prove fascinating with that in mind) on debut but that was an encouraging start and connections have high hopes for him as well. He looks sure to handle the track and can cause an upset. There are some interesting newcomers to monitor whilst Myanmar may prove best of the remainder but the two market leaders stand out and should be hard to beat with Visions Of Johanna taken to do the honours.
