Verdict
Bel Cantor, Babeth and Quote Unquote look the three to concentrate on in this maiden and the vote is given to Babeth. The selection was a fair second behind Ocean Of Dreams last time out. The return to the minimum trip looks sure to suit and from a good draw she looks the one to be on. Bel Cantor rates the main danger on his latest third behind What Do You Know but he has had plenty of chances without taking one and again he looks vulnerable. Quote Unquote is another worthy of respect on her best form but she has not progressed as expected and at the likely odds she looks worth taking on again. Of the remainder, Spirit Of Coniston could go well at a price but he has given the impression in the past he would be suited by a longer trip and for the winner we return to Babeth.
