Verdict
Having shown progression in two runs ELAND ALLY sets the standard in a maiden that shouldn't take much winning with Not So Bright also expect to keep up his improving profile and Fairlie Dinkum is interesting on debut. Bred to handle soft ground the pick stepped up on his debut effort to run into a place at this track over a furlong shorter. This step up in trip should bring forth more improvement and the form from his last run looks strong in the context of this race. Not So Bright stepped up markedly on his first run to finish third of 11 at Wolverhampton when stepped up to this distance. He should handle these conditions and is bred well enough to expect a winning future. Fairlie Dinkum is related to plenty of winners but wouldn't want too much more rain to fall. His yard are in form and if the market speaks in his favour he would be of more interest. Another Citizen has a solid debut to build on but Eland Ally sets the standard.
