        Verdict

        City Well, Opera Comica and Bariloche look the principals in this maiden and the vote is given toCity Well. The selection was a good third on her debut behind Permanent Way., she is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement will be hard to beat. Opera Comica rates the main danger on his latest second behind Magic Moth but she has had plenty of chances and looks vulnerable to a less exposed type. Bariloche was a fair fourth last time but has already given the impression he will be seen to better affect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Fleur A Lay is a well bred type and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to City Well who sets a fair standard.
