Lyrica's Lion⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Adam Beschizza| T: P Butler

100/1

Well held in two AW maidens both over a mile when starting big prices and likely to be headed for low grade handicaps after this run.

Form: 0

(4)

Sheila's Fancy¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Michael J M Murphy| T: J S Moore

33/1

Ran to a very modest level on his only start so far when finishing last in a mile maiden here in November.

Form: 0-3

(5)

Ulysses²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Fran Berry| T: R M Beckett

10/11

Shaped well on his only start over C&D when despite looking green early on he learned throughout the race. Looks open to improvement based on that run and his appealing pedigree in a race that may not take a lot of winning.

Form: 220

(2)

Voski

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

2/1

Third foal and a half-brother to 7f (AW) and mile winner Wold's Greatest. Pedigree suggests that he should be suited by AW surfaces and the yard are no stranger to success at this track or in this sort of event.

Form: 1

(7)

Asanta Sana

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

Unraced Galileo filly who is a sister to a couple of smart performers over middle distances. Yard do well with this type and she is worthy of respect in a weak maiden.

Form: 4

(6)

Cookie's Star¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: P J McBride

33/1

Pedigree suggests that she should have cost more than she did but she offered very little on her debut over 1m2f here earlier this month.

Form: 56

(3)

Dashanti³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: J G Portman

66/1

Started at a big price on her only start so far and offered little when well beaten here over 1m2f finishing last if six.

Form: 67

Forecasts

Ulysses (10/11), Voski (2/1), Asanta Sana (9/2), Sheila's Fancy (33/1), Cookie's Star (33/1), Dashanti (66/1), Lyrica's Lion (100/1)

This doesn’t look a strong maiden with those that have had an outing apart from ULYSSES looking rather moderate and bound for handicaps in time. The two newcomers from powerful yards Voski and Asanta Sana are both worthy of respect but the experience of his initial run just tops the scales in favour Ulysses.
