In depth
Verdict
Futoon was only beaten a head when second over course and distance on debut but that was back in May. However, the third and fourth have both franked the form since so Kevin Ryan's filly will be fancied to go one better. But MARRON, the first foal of a mare who won over track and trip on her debut as a juvenile, is certain to know her job and could come out on top. Balance, a daughter of Pivotal, is a half-sister to two winners and another debutante to consider while Tanaasub is related to the speedy Mecado among others. Electrostatic will be interesting when tackling handicaps and looks the pick of the remainder.
