Verdict

This has the makings of a decent maiden, and the three we like the look of are Brisk Breeze, Cliche and Wanessa Tiger and we will take a chance with the last named. Mick Channon has his string in fine form at present and this daughter of Titus Livius looks the part on paper. She cost 70,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to the Group One sprinter Fayr Jag. She will know her job first time up and could be worth an interest. Brisk Breeze and Cliche met in a similar race here earlier this month, with the former coming out on top by three-quarters of a length. Both should come on for the outing and there should be little between them again this afternoon. That event though was won by a Mick Channon trained horse so he should know how he stands with these two rivals, which brings us nicely back to our selection, Wanessa Tiger.
