    Verdict

    Master Of The Race sets the standard here and he can get the better of Rainbow Sky and Opera Belle. Although a little disappointing in his last two runs, Master Of The Race has shown reasonable maiden form in finishing second in each of his last two starts, and that makes him the one to beat. Having said that, he has not been tried on fast ground yet, and with Selkirk in his blood, his ability to bounce off the ground will have to be taken on trust. The Barry Hills-trained Rainbow Sky showed much improved form to finish third over 10 furlongs at Newbury last time, but she only looks modest. That said, she knuckled down to her task well at the Berkshire track and should not leave without some money. Opera Belle has shown some promise and can't be dismissed but, overall, connections seem to have found a very good opening for Master Of The Race and he looks the one to beat.
