Verdict
Little Perisher, Key Art and Monsieur Joe catch the eye here, with Jeremy Noseda's well-entered KEY ART taken to collect on debut. Monsieur Joe ran very well first time out, doing his best work at the finish at Windsor, finishing a close second. A half brother to dual five furlong juvenile winner, Cerito, Monsieur Joe can go well again here. Little Perisher stepped up considerably on a Brighton second to chase home a talented pair here last time. Further improvement can see him go well-and he does have the most experience. Key Art hails from a yard that know the time of day with their juveniles, and have their fair share of precocious types. He is sure to have been taught his job well, and has a Group One entry lined up, so he clearly has been working well. A half brother to a winning juvenile over five furlongs, Key Art hails from a yard in good form, and can score on his first appearance.
