Verdict
Iktibas, True and Top Line Dancer look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote goes to Iktibas. The selection hails from a yard that has over a fifty percent strike rate with it's first time out three-year-olds this season and this regally bred half sister to the high class Alshadiyah will not have to be anything special to score on her debut. True rates the main danger but she has had plenty of chances over a variety of trips without winning and although she has place claims it will be disappointing if the unexposed selection is not better than her. Top Line Dancer is another with place claims but her best form to date has come over six furlongs so she can not be backed with any confidence over this trip. The remainder have shown virtually nothing and for the winner we return to Iktibas.
