Verdict
Eleven runners go to post for this maiden but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning but the principals look to be Cayman Breeze,Zak Facta and Taggerty and the confident vote goes to Cayman Breeze. The three year old from the Ed Dulop yard was a good second behind Market Hill last time under similar conditions and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Zak Facta rates the main danger on his latest third behind Cape St Vincent, however that was on the AW and his form on turf does not amount to much so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Taggerty is also worthy of consideration on his most recent effort when third behind Esatto in a handicap he has definite place claims. The remainder need to improve significantly on their latest efforts to trouble the judge so we are happy to side with Cayman Breeze.
