        Verdict

        Zar Solitario made a pleasing debut and is taken to build on that today at the main expense of Six Day War and Here's Blue Chip. The selection showed up really well for a long way on his racecourse bow when he chased home History Boy. He was a little green that day so he should come on for the run and with the slight drop in trip also in his favour we think he should take plenty of beating. Six Day War was doing his best work at the finish last time out so it seems a little puzzling that he is dropped in trip today and he looks worth opposing. Here's Blue Chip was disappointing in his debut but he improved last time and if he can continue on that upward curve then he might be capable of troubling the judge. Sir Mark Prescott's Spring Glory is one to note in the market, but Zar Solitario showed enough on his debut to make him the one to beat today.
