Newmarket Race 1 - Alex Scott Maiden Stakes (Colts & Geldings)
The new season at Newmarket begins with an interesting three-year-old maiden. CERRO BLANCO (3) represents leading connections and profiles well on paper being a son of Wootton Bassett from the Listed winning mare Duneflowe. Top pick on debut. BIG SNOOPY (2) makes plenty of appeal being an unraced colt by Siyouni from the G1 winner Teppal. Main danger on pedigree. MAKERSTOUN (6) is a three-year-old colt by Night Of Thunder out of G3 winning dam Paramount running for a notable stable. Holds claims. Two contenders bring previous form including GALBA (4) who placed third at Newbury over 1200m last October. Might feature. WIELD (8) filled the same position at Chelmsford City AW last month. Looks one to note.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Salisbury on July 12 over 1400m, 18 len behind A Bit Of Spirit with 59kg at $9. Returned from break 3rd in a small field at Chelmsford on March 7 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Beagle Bay carrying 57kg at $3.30. Should hold the form and makes appeal.
