In what doesn't appear the strongest maiden SOWETO STAR looks to have obvious claims. John Best's charge is related to a juvenile sprint winner in France and could well have made a winning debut had he not stumbled in Newmarket's dip. In finishing fourth despite that incident he went into plenty of notebooks and unless there's a star among the newcomers this is an opportunity he should take. Pick of the unraced brigade may be Steps, a 20,000gns purchase whose yard have had success with juveniles here, although market support for Amelia's Surprise, Dickie's Lad or See The Storm shouldn't be dismissed. Barnet Fair wasn't beaten far at Kempton and seems progressive so as the highest rated of those to have qualified for a mark he deserves respect, along with Eland Ally and Homeboy who both have place claims.
