Verdict
Watchmyeyes, Krasivi's Boy and Indian Dove look to be the principles in the opener and the vote is given to Watchmyeyes. The selection is a consistent sort who ran well last time out when narrowly beaten into second behind Mitraillette over 7 furlongs on this track. The step up in trip will suit and he should take plenty of beating. krasivi's Boy ran well last time at Goodwood when second behind Jamaaron, but he did not handle the surface when well beaten on his debut over this course and distance and for that reason he is opposed. Indian Dove is a well-bred filly from a leading yard so she is worth noting in the market on her debut, while a similar watching brief is advised for the other newcomer Moonstruck. Raise A Tune was well beaten on his debut at Goodwood but he is sure to come on for that run, so he is another worth considering, but Watchmyeyes sets a fair standard here and is taken to score.
