Verdict

A small field goes to post for this maiden and the principals look to be Blueberry Rhyme, Vittorioso, and White O' Morn and the tentative vote goes to Vittorioso. The three-year-old was a fair third behind Cut And Dried in similar grade last time and with that rival having since won a handicap, Vittorioso is taken to get his head in front with conditions to suit. Blueberry Rhyme rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Tag Team last time. However he has had good opportunities before and has failed to take them, so for that reason he is opposed. White O' Morn is also worthy of respect after finishing second behind Danakim last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Of the remainder, Uhuru Peak is from a shrewd yard and would not have to be anything special to make a winning debut so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Vittorioso
