        Verdict

        Aaim For Applause gets the confident vote in the opener with Barbarossa and Lilie Tuyva rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Berbice last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with this softer surface likely to bring about improvement he is hard to oppose. Barbarossa rates the main danger on his latest third behind Kings Icon. he is sure to improve again and with his yard in form he should be watched in the market.Lilie Tuva catches the eye on breeding being a filly by Alhaarth his yard her yard are can ready a newcomer and she should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Sawpit Sunshine is another that ran with promise on her debut and is sure to improve but the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Aaim For Applause.
