In depth
Verdict
Division two of the seven furlong maiden and this does look the weaker of the two divisions. SPRING OF FAME is selected to land it have shaped with real promise in what looked an above average maiden at Kempton. Added to that, he was forced to race wide and should benefit immensely for the experience. Cosimo and Curacao are newcomers of real interest. Cosimo, a Medicean colt hailing from the Sir Michael Stoute yard is worth a market check while Curaceo, the gelded son of Sakhee is a half-brother to this seasons Jersey Stakes winner Aqlaam. Amanda Perrett's juveniles are renowned for needing the run first time out but her string are sparkling form at the moment and on breeding alone he is worth keeping a close eye on. Wabi Sabi was set a stiff task on debut, that being in a decent conditions event where the first three home all had the benefit of racecourse experience. La Tizona is a newcomer worth watching also but Spring Of Fame is selected to get punters out on a winning note.
