Verdict
A large field goes to post for this fillies maiden but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Dance Flower, Swan Nebula and Piper¿s Ash and the vote goes to Dance Flower. The selection was a fair third behind Shohrah last time out and with conditions in her favour she will be hard to beat. Swan Nebula rates the main danger she appeared not to stay seven furlongs when behind Windscreamer last time and with the drop in trip sure to suit she will not be far away. Piper's Ash is another worthy of respect she is a well bred newcomer by Royal Accademy and is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Nazaaha is another well bred sort worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Dance Flower.
