Verdict
Lara's Girl probably has the best form of those to have raced previously but the likelihood is that this will go to one of the newcomers with preference for Bamzooki over Trackattack. The selection is a half-sister by Zilzal to Capetown Girl and comes from a stable more than capable of producing a horse to win first time out. Trackattack is a likely type on pedigree but Jamie Osborne's stable has been rather quiet of late and of more interest may be the Peter Harris-trained Tybalt, who is by Polar Flacon. Willie Muir's Avertigo is by the stable's smart sprinter Averti and is another worthy of a mention, while of those to have raced Lara's Girl may do better over further and of more interest may be last time out course fourth Time For You. However, those with previous form have little to recommend them and preference is for Bamzooki.
