In depth
Verdict
The three to concentrate on in this maiden stakes are Kwame, Miss Cassia and Gaudalpin and the vote is given to Kwame. The filly from the Emma Lavelle yard showed bags of promise and ran much better than was expected when a good second behind Indiannie Star on this track on her debut. She is sure to come on for the run and she looks the one to be on. Richard Hannon sends Miss Cassia to post and she showed plenty of promise when third behind Siena Gold at Newmarket. Gaudalpin did not handle the ground and was behind her that day and it is hard to see her reverse the placings as Miss Cassia was making her debut so she is sure to improve for the run. Right Answer is from a leading yard and is the other to monitor in the market for any market support on her racecourse debut, but Kwame really caught the eye when second on her debut and she is taken to go one better here.
