Didn't offer much on his debut in course maiden juvenile plate over 5½f at 17-2 last June; returning from a layoff here; knows more about the job in hand; not without hope.

Unable to land a blow when fourth of eight in a maiden juvenile plate nine days ago upped to this trip; without a win in four attempts although has finished second; she is the only filly in this; in first-time blinkers; can figure.

Verdict
SCARLETT HEART gets the vote. She can be excused her most recent run and will be a tough nut to crack should she benefit from first-time blinkers. Two For The Boys poses a serious threat to the tip while Greenlight Racer is expected to take a forward step, and Radio Star is one of the more interesting newcomers.
