Verdict
Awesome Love,Mambina and Late Opposition look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the confident vote goes to Awesome Love. The selection was well beaten in a handicap behind Harry Potter last time but this is much easier and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Mambina showed improved form when second behind Mit Hill last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close but he is more exposed than most and for that reason he is opposed. Late Opposition is another that could go well as he was a fair third behind Cellermaster last time and with the step up in trip sure to suit he is a danger to all. The remainder have shown virtually nothing and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Awesome Love.
