        Verdict

        There isn't much between Ace Of Spies and Copperwood on the offical ratings, but there are plenty of other dangers in what looks a strong maiden. Narrow preference is for Ace Of Spies who looks progressive. It is of interest that Copperwood and Ace Of Spies both try again in maidens despite being handicapped now so it may be that both are assumed to be flattered by official ratings, however Ace Of Spies is given the nod. Mark Johnston passed the 2000 winner mark earlier this week and this Machiavellian colt is fancied to reward those who keep the faith having been turned over at odds-on last time out. Fairfield Flame and Throne Of Power look the two most interesting newcomers and need to be watched in the betting, whilst Brave Hawk and Boy On A Swing are both potential improvers having both only had one start, although neither excelled. Copperwood ran poorly on his last run but is rated better than that and may appreciate this new trip, however we will side with Ace Of Spies as the selection.
