Blandys Wood, Distant Charm and Highland Homestead look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the tentative vote is given to Blandys Wood. The selection was a fair fourth behind Sofia's Star last time out. That form has since been franked and from a good draw he is taken to put his experiance to good use. Distant Charm rates the main danger on his debut fifth behind Ramblin Bob. He is sure to have learnt fronm the experiance and with the longer trip sure to suit he should be watched in the market. Highland Homestead is another that ran with promise on his debut and is sure to improve but he has been done no favours by the draw. Dancer's Legacy catches the eye on breeding but his stable are not renowned for debutante winners. Of the others Feasible is another that ran with promise on his debut and could improve but he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time.This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informitive but for the winner we return to Blandys Wood.
