FUSAICHI FLYER looks to be coming along nicely and can break his maiden at the third time of asking, while Capricornus will probably emerge as the leading danger. The selection improved plenty for his debut over course and distance when returning here and chasing home Playboy Blues as an unfancied 33/1 shot last time. Although he never troubled the winner that day, he stayed on well to claim second and he can complete the learning curve with success today. Capricornus was never in the hunt on his first start at Kempton earlier in the month, but being trained by Mark Johnston we would expect to see a fair bit more second time around, and this well-bred sort could go very close. All Right Now is related to 6f winners at two, suggesting that he hasn't been showing lots of speed at home to be entered up first time over this trip, while Brave Decision is an interesting newcomer with both speed and stamina in the pedigree, and we should check out the market as a guide to his chance. Pedigree suggests that Celestial Girl will be better at three and when tried beyond a mile, while Mnasikia is showing improvement and was staying on over this trip last time, so the slightly slower surface may bring that stamina into play even more. An intriguing maiden where the suggestion is Fusaichi Flyer.
