Verdict

VAN MAISON (1) looks to be the most forward new season juvenile in this small field after winning the most recent of 2 trials, which came on this track late last month. On top for us. SUPER ACCORD (3) is a stable mate of the top pick who finished behind the that runner in the same trial here. He has the coveted pole position, and is ready to rumble on debut. CORONADA (5) has trialled up nicely twice in preparation for her debut. She may want further, but is in good hands, and is worthy of each-way consideration. CAMP FORTE (4) is trained here, and she did enough in her only trial to date to warrant some top 4 respect in the small field. Check the market moves. BEYOND LIMITS (2) and LITTLE WEAPON (6) have only trialled fairly, but both could improve sharply on race day.
