In depth

Verdict

Peruvian Breeze,Martovic and Award Me An Oscar are three against the field in this maiden Hurdle and the vote is given to Peruvian Breeze. The selection showed improved form to be third behind Gold Guest. This looks easier and with the step up in trip sure to suit he looks the one to be on in a desperate affair. Martovic rates the main danger on her best form but she was very disappointing behind Camden Bella last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Award Me An Oscar is another that could go well as she was well backed last time out but could never land a blow. However it will be interesting to see if there is more money for her here. Of the remainder Captain Cloudy has place claims on his best form but he has looked triples of late and for that reason he is opposed. This a terrible affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Peruvian Breeze.
