Mares' only race here. My selection is in hot form and is worth keeping on after winning latest over a mile. The drop back to sprinting will suit better, with best form over today's 5.5f. Has now won eight races and looks a major player here.

A couple of these already have racecourse experience, which can be a plus in maiden races. However, I will go for this unraced Kingman colt to win on debut. Well bred for this test over the distance and ground, given the dam's side, and reportedly well forward.
