In depth
Verdict
Another competitive field goes to post for this maiden and the principals look to be Complication, La Corujera and Boavista and we will take a chance on complication. The James Toller inmate got going all to late when third behind Rare Destiny last time out over the minimum trip and with the step up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. La Corujera rates the main danger on his best form but he has had plenty of chances and for that reason is opposed on this occasion. Pirouettes is also worthy of respect he is from a very shrewd yard and he would be a danger to all if he could reproduce the run that saw him finish fourth behind Fantasize. Of there remainder Boavista was a good second behind Yamalo last time out and he is another that could go well but we are happy to stick with Complication.
