Pre-race Summary

	The 2003-2004 results are at the bottom of the page for comparison
MAY 6th SUMMING UP	A very interesting maiden and promising a number of average+ winners and possibly one quite useful. Aliceinwonderland comes out top on profile but there is limited evidence as to how the trainer will approach this debut run. She also has a non 5f pedigree although if she's useful or better she could still beat lesser types at that distance of course. However, she's quite likely to be favourite and may well be poor value, especially given the niggles. A perfectly sensible approach to the race in that case would be to look for an alternative. If she's really useful and irons out the locals at a short SP, then fair enough. In looking for an alternative there aren't any obviously superior types in opposition but there are a number who look good enough to provide some opposition if Aliceinwonderland isn't this year's 'Damson'. Rapsgate runs for a trainer that doesn't target strong debuts but gets above his usual percentage of FTO wins with his earlier season debuts at this course. She is probably only a 'medium' sprinter but may be more precocious. Donna Giovanna is by the, deceased, sire Mozart as is Rapsgate so we'll learn more about his 2yos here. His trainer also does not target strong debuts but his early season runners tend to be chosen as precocious types. The trainer's debuts for her owners tend to be above his avergae level. Of the others Donna Blini, and possibly Willmar, appeal as possibles to rate 70+ in the season and should be assessed with that in prospect.
RACE QUALITY:	There has not been a corresponding race in 2003-4.
TRAINERS:	D Wachman has his first 2yo debut in Britain (Aliceinwonderland).
SIRES:	First season sire Mozart has three of the runners (Donna Giovanna, In The Fountain & Rapsgate). Other sires with their first runners in 2005 are Beckett (Left Nostril) & Bertolini (Donna Blini).
SALES REVIEWS:	Rapsgate was rated 74 at the sales and with a well above average chance of being a competitive 2yo. She was medium size and just above average build. In proportion and a classic medium, early season, sprinter.
