Verdict

AUGUST RUSH (1) led and gave a great sight but found one better on debut over 5f at this track last start. Has the pace to negate the wide draw. Should come on following that encouraging debut and is a big chance to break through. ENCHANTED WORLD (9) quickened nicely but couldn't quite match the winner when fresh from a spell over 5f at this track last time out. That rating was a career-high performance so she has returned in great shape. Poses a serious threat. OL' MATE COOP (6) returns after a five-month spell. In the money at both previous first-up outings. Has the right profile to test this field. ANTILOPINI (12) wasn't all that far away on debut last start and this longer journey should suit.
