Verdict

The progressive looking HELIEORBEA looks head and shoulders above this maiden field and as a result has our vote with Gaselee and Moon Money having to settle for minor honours. In a contest that won't take much winning the selection has solid claims after progressing nicely from a promising debut run, from which the form is rock solid, to go closer behind a well bred sort last time out. This contest looks a lot easier and the step up in trip should suit. Gaselee showed a much better level of form on her second run as a three-year-old on her latest effort and while she looks to be heading in the right direction she looks a little short on her turf debut. Moon Money was solid in a big field Doncaster maiden on his only start. The form has been franked from that race and he should improve for the outing. Jobekani is the only other you might consider but will have to improve on all known form to challenge the selection Helieorbea.
