In depth
Verdict
In the six-furlong maiden, Truly Royal is selected ahead of Give Her A Whirl and Shmookh. The well-bred Godolphin newcomer Truly Royal might provide the answer here, although the betting market might prove the most relaible guide when it comes to making your selection. La Cucaracha's half-sister, Give Her A Whirl, has to be of interest, while Exit Strategy is among the interesting newcomers, along with Land's End, who is related to juvenile winners, and Mutanaseb. The last-named's stable companion, Rasaman, showed promise on his Newbury debut, while Shmookh attracted money before running moderately on his debut, but a chunk of improvement is not ruled out. Finally, Tracer's form may only be average but at least he has experience but, overall, we will side with Truly Royal.
