Eight three-year-old maidens square off in a maiden special weight call on the Sunday programme of March 1, 2026.
The distance the eight will compete over four furlongs.
The Quick Galloper’s assessment of the possible outcome is provided below for the perusal of readers on this website.
1 – BRILLIANT BOY
Chestnut colt (April 29) by Bern Identity out of Mete-Orite.
Trainer – Anthony Nunes
Jockey – Anthony Allen
Note – Races without the tongue tie
This well-bred youngster has yet to make an impression in three outings. With the tongue tie removed, connections will be hoping for a more encouraging performance.
2 – THE CHEF MASTER
Bay colt (March 17) by Here Comes Ben out of Dancing Riddim.
Trainer – Edward Stanberry
Jockey – Andree Powell
Note – Races without the tongue tie
Four runs have yielded nothing of note. Still very much a work in progress and requires more time to develop.
3 – CODE RED
Chestnut colt (May 4) by Aveenu Malcainu out of Eighteen Karat.
Trainer – Anthony Nunes
Jockey – Raddesh Roman
Note – Races with blinkers fitted
Placed fifth in both career starts. Against this moderate field, Code Red has shown enough to be considered a genuine contender.
4 – CHANCES ARE
Bay filly (March 21) by Casual Trick out of Yoga.
Trainer – Owen Sharpe
Jockey – Demar Williams – claims 2kg
A debutante with useful preparation. Clocked 47.0 seconds for four furlongs in a trial run. That effort suggests she has a realistic chance of making an impact first time out.
5 – QUEEN MAJESTY
Bay filly (April 20) by Strikewhileitshot out of Valley of Queens.
Trainer – Edward Stanberry
Jockey – Natalie Berger
Form and preparation do not inspire confidence. Can be ruled out of serious contention.
6 – AWINGANDAPRAYER
Chestnut filly (January 9) by Bern Identity out of Keep The Faith.
Trainer – Gary Griffiths
Jockey – Oshane Nugent
Two fifth-place finishes so far. While progress has been steady, she remains an outsider with only a slim chance of success.
7 – BLYTHWOOD
Bay colt (February 4) by Wow Wow out of She’s An Introvert.
Trainer – Anthony Nunes
Jockey – Javaniel Patterson
The most experienced of the lot with eight starts, finishing in the frame seven times. Proven down the straight and consistent against stronger rivals. Blythwood stands out as the horse to beat.
8 – MANOLETTI MAJESTIC
Chestnut colt (June 6) by Bern Identity out of Gentle Officer.
Trainer – Peter-John Parsard
Jockey – Reyan Lewis
A well-prepared newcomer with several gallops under his belt. Manoletti Majestic is one to keep a close eye on.
