Verdict

On the short list for this maiden are Flawed Genius, Fortuity and Rio de la Plata with the selection being Rio de la Plata. The Godolphin-owned selection cost 170,000 guineas as a yearling and, despite the fact that the going might be a concern for the son of Rahy, he might be worth taking a chance on. Flawed Genius hails from the Sir Michael Stoute stable and he has enough in his profile to be given some thought, while Fortuity has the best form on offer and the step up to six furlongs today should bring further improvement, as should the ease in the going. Bury Treasure, a 16,000 guineas son of Choisir, Close To Paradise, a 90,000 guineas two-year-old trained by Ed Dunlop, Mister Beano, who showed some promise behind Royal Ascot Coventry Stakes third Luck Money on his Newmarket debut, Piscean, who cost 40,000 pounds as a two-year-old, and Tobogganist, who cost 40,000 guineas as a yearling, are ones that you might want to have a look at but, for the selection, we will side with Rio de la Plata.
