        Verdict

        My Secrets, Transpique and Terry Molloy are short listed, with the vote going to the first-named horse. My Secrets hails from a stable in form, cost 34,000 guineas and has a likeable pedigree, so has to be considered for this maiden. Transpique's debut run was full of promise and he rates as a major player today. Captain Nemo cannot be dismissed on breeding, while the advice is to watch the market with regard to Celtic Sultan, who cost 62,000 euros. With Karl Burke's horses running well, keep an eye on Terry Molloy, and Pavlovia's debut revealed promise, so she too must be given all due respect. Overall, though, if the market vibe is good, we will side with My Secrets.
