Verdict
In a maiden that shouldn't take a great deal of winning Powerful Pierre sets the standard but with Jedd O'Keefe's runner looking exposed in this company we side with newcomer OPERA CAT with Antarctic Desert also considered. Trainer Mark Johnston does better with his three-year-old debutantes than his juveniles and the pick is smartly related. He may be better over further in time but should have enough speed to win over this trip and any market moves in his favour will be interesting. Powerful Pierre is rated 73 and is the standard setter. He proved he's trained on when finding just the one too good on his seasonal bow and after a decent run in a handicap prior to that he could make experience count. Antarctic Desert doesn't have to find much based on the ratings and although Kieran Fallon looks an eye-catching booking he was very poor in handicap company last time. Beat Baby has improved in a couple of efforts but will need to improve leaps and bounds to be winning this so in a weak looking maiden Opera Cat looks worth chancing on debut.
