        Verdict

        Speed Song, Look Busy and Perfect Flight are three against the field in a competitive opener and the vote is given to Speed Song. The selection won well last time out when beating Mandelieu with plenty in hand in a maiden, she enters nursery's off what looks a handy mark and with improvement likely she looks the one to be on. Look Busy rates the main danger as she won well last time when defeating Style Award. However she has a six pound penalty for that victory and in what looks a more competitive affair she looks vulnerable. Perfect Flight was a fair fifth behind Supermassive Muse last time out in a maiden and has definite place claims off what looks a handy mark but her best form has come over a longer trip. Of the remainder Kinout looks sure to appreciate the return to turf having failed to act on the all-weather but Speed Song is open to plenty of improvement and looks the one to be on.
