Prince Desire, Ike Quebec and Al Azy are three against the field in another trappy maiden and the vote is given to Ike Quebec. The selection is a well-bred colt by Dr Fong and he will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut. His yard are in form and he looks the one to be on. Prince Desire rates the main danger on his latest seventh behind Ghetto. That form looks solid and with experience in his favour he will not be far away. Al Azy is another that could go well as he is a colt by Nayef but his stables debutante runners have tended to need the run and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Fool's Wildcat and Summon Up Theblood both hail from in-form yards but are bred to be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Ike Quebec.
