Until When is going the right way and is taken to prevail over Sivota, Akiyama and Majestic Chief to name but a few. Yet another maiden for punters to contend with, and there will be plenty more as the Turf Flat season draws to a close, so bets are best kept to a minimum. Until When has had three outings to date and appears to be getting the hang of things now judged on his latest effort at Redcar where he was a decent third to Karoo Blue. He definitely improved for the step up to seven furlongs, and should go close this afternoon, with the slightly easier conditions to suit. Sivota was not particularly fancied on his debut here over a mile recently, but went close despite being hampered. However, this drop in distance is a slight worry and he is passed over. Akiyma's stable has been in good form with its Transcend youngsters, and this gelding will like the ground, while Majestic Chief is a half-brother to Fantasy Ride so has to be noted for the future. Until When has a bit more experience than the rest and can make it count now.
