Verdict
Having improved in two starts ROANSTAR looks the marginal best choice in this maiden ahead of Azimuth while Court Circle should be better than he's shown so far. Both the pick's starts have come over course and distance and after making a solid start to his career he showed plenty more to not be far beaten last time. Both bits of form have some strength and he can improve again to score. Azimuth also stepped on his debut run to find just one too good last time. He looked a little one paced in the finish so should benefit for a step up in trip. Court Circle has held his level of performance in two runs but should be capable of more while Daniel Defoe looks the best of the rest of a rather moderate bunch. This might not take much winning so Roanstar looks to have the progressive profile to do just that.
