Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for this maiden, but Majestic Times is expected to score. The Bluebird colt was held in high regard last season and he showed enough on his debut to suggest that he can win a race of this nature. He disappointed on his second start but that was on soft ground now that he has conditions to suit he will be hard to beat. Summer Special rates the main danger on his third behind Pure Speculation however that was on soft ground and he has never raced on a surface this fast. Boroughest Boy has plenty of experience and he has definite place claims on his best form. Its Echo Boy has also got plenty of experience but his best form is over a longer trip and he may not have the toe for this sharp track. The remainder that have run have shown little worthwhile form, and the remaining debutantes do not catch the eye on breeding.
