      Verdict

      Cotton Camera is hard to fancy on what she's shown so far but Aizu is definitely capable of better now going handicapping. Poplar Close won a maiden auction event over course and distance last month but Dutch Heiress' victory at Ayr looks stronger form and she's obviously more forward than many two-year-olds from her yard. THOLEN just failed to overhaul the odds-on Aneesah at Chester and was then third in a decent maiden at Goodwood. A mark of 75 looks fair and Mark Johnston's filly can open her account here.
