Verdict

RED STAR LADY was beaten nearly three lengths when runner-up here last week but that's just about the best piece of form any of this bunch have managed of late. She gets a token vote while Busy Bimbo also has a shout on her earlier placed efforts in maiden races at this track. Very First Blade has the past form to figure and Cheyenne Red went close on the Turf on a couple of occasions last year, but it's difficult to find any other form worthy of a mention.
