Verdict

FINAL MELODY has been a good second on all 3 nursery starts, including C&D last time, and can deservedly get her head in front. The Love Machine is another with a solid nursery record but the drop back to the minimum trip isn't sure to suit and perhaps the main threat will come from Henry de Bromhead handicap newcomer Alkutonic.
