        Verdict

        Somersault, Rodeo and Hunters' Glen are three against the field in this maiden and the vote is given to Somersault. The selection was a fair second behind Boarder News, that form sets the standard in the context of this race and with more improvement likely he will be hard to beat. Rodeo rates the main danger on his latest second behind Makdera but the suspicion is he may be seen to better effect once handicapped. Hunter;s Glen is another that could go well as he hails from a yard that is begging to hit form and this colt by Bahri will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. Of the remainder Another Gladiator showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is another that is sure to improve but he may be sen to better effect over a longer trip in time and for the winner we return to Somersault who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
