These early season two-year-old affairs are never easy to work out with the lack of form on offer, and the market can prove very informative. However on paper BLOWN BY WIND is a tentative pick. This Invincible Spirit colt has a fairly good pedigree, being a half-brother to a couple of winners at Listed level, and represents a trainer in Mark Johnston who has his fair share of juvenile winners. Michael Bell's Artair and David Evans' Awake In Asia are others to keep an eye on.
