In depth
Verdict
A small field goes to post for this maiden and it looks a straight forward task for Bahamian Breeze. The filly from the Jeremy Noseda yard was a good second behind Rewayaat last time. She is sure to have learnt from the experience and she will be hard to beat under similar conditions. Flipando is from a yard that is doing well with its two year olds. He is speedily bred and is worth noting in the market. Neon Blue has shown a modicum of ability on both his starts and is sure to run well again but he will need to improve significantly to defeat the selection to beat Bahamian Breeze.
