Verdict
Royal Jet, Gabanna and Amazing Valour are three against the field in this maiden and the confident vote goes to Royal Jet. The selection was a fair second behind Ayam Zaman in a fair maiden last time out and need only reproduce that effort to score. Gabanna rates the main danger he was a fair sixth on his debut behind Speightstown and is sure to have come on for the run his stable remain in top form and he will not be far away. Amazing Valour was behind the selection last time and although he is sure to improve he will need to significantly to gain his revenge. Sand Repeal showed improved form to be third behind Fantasy Ride last time and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to the progressive Royal Jet.
