September foal; sire capable of getting smart offspring; sibling of Captains Envy (4½f winner); should not be far away with signs of encouragement in profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Already a gelding; related to 1m winner Arikara; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; September foal; Michael Houdalakis debutants have a strong record at Vaal.

Verdict
This is not a race for maximum stakes but VIKING LASS is taken to get the job done here. She is from a trainer with a fine record with newcomers. Shining Sun is from a strong trainer, Shining Sun, Gone Cold and Sheriff Bill Brown look the part on pedigree, and Sheriff Bill Brown comes from a trainer that does well with beginners.
