Colorado Springs gets the vote in this maiden with Warringah and Piermarini rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Hilbre Court last time out, that form looks solid in the context of this race and with improvement likely from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Warringah rates the main danger as he is a well bred sort by Galileo from a yard in top form and he should be watched in the market but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time and is taken on with this in mind. Piermarini is another that could go well on his best form but he dissapointed for no apparent reason last time out so he cannot be put forward with much confidence. Of the others Making Mischief is another that catches the eye on breeding but has been done no favours by the draw and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Colorado Springs.
