Verdict
A few titbits of form to work on here in this fillies' maiden, and it is the once-raced On Offer who gets the nod ahead of Common Diva and Maid For Music, with Flying Lady and Smoke Me A Kipper rated as interesting newcomers. The selection was slowly away on her debut but then plugged on in tidy fashion. The stable are enjoying a fruitful time at present and if the market speaks in her favour then she can be expected to run a big race on a track that should suit. Maid For Music also impressed on her debut and it would be unwise to think that she won't improve for that run; she was well-supported on that occasion and should go well here with stable jock Richard Mullen on top. Betwes Y Coed showed some ability on her debut when she got the hang of things late on and can go well if not being disqualified, whilst Common Diva improved from first to second runs and may improve again. Flying Lady is bred for a longer trip but her trainer has a profitable record at the track and thus she needs some respect. A fair maiden and On Offer gets the nod.
