      Verdict

      A competitive maiden to open the card and the vote is given to Ellablue who is preferred to Tang and Ceredig. The selection ran well here last time when chasing home Pride Of Joy and from a decent draw this filly looks the one to be on today. Tang looks held by Drifitng Gold on a run here last year and she does not look the strongest in a finish. Drifting Gold is better over slightly further, while Ceredig ran well when finishing second behind Sohraab last time but he has had plenty of chances now. Ellablue ran well enough last time to make her the one to beat today.
