This looks to be an above-average renewal of this type of maiden handicap contest, and one who looks to have sneaked in a likeable opening mark is
NASRAAWY. His winning chance last term was hampered by a sluggish start, but he seemingly thrived off the trip and looks to be the type to significantly progress with racing. At the top of the weights, both
Slade King and
Rocket Rod have shaped as if winning is around the corner, especially the latter after running with great credit in a hot Newcastle maiden two starts ago, but aren't treated the best in this, while
My Poem cannot be ignored given her trainers impeccable record with these sorts, but doesn't get any respite from the handicapper.
