Verdict

Terrific race. VALLEY STAR (4) just missed behind Buzzoffski on debut then turned the tables with a fast finishing win latest. Nice weight drop for this and has upside. Expected to be winding up strongly again. MOMENTSLIKETHESE (10) posted a big win last run before a break and showed good ability in the first campaign. Makes plenty of appeal. BUZZOFFSKI (8) was a debut winner then run down late last time by Valley Star. Huge weight drop and will take catching. ONYX CHARM (3) is a two-year-old gelding by Captivant out of Kuroset. Placed in all three trials and should run well. LUCKY LIPSTICK (9) also makes debut off a trial win and capable of a strong first outing.
