Verdict

EVER LUCK (1) was some win on debut. He lost his bearings around the home turn, almost ended up in the grandstand, then straightened himself up to get the job done by 1.8L as favourite. That highlights the ability he's got and he'll be better for the experience. Draws the inside this time and looks very hard to beat. MAJESTIC VALOUR (7) has showed plenty of class at the trials, winning his last two trials. Purton was on board in his recent outing on the All Weather and he remains in the saddle for his debut today. Expecting a bold performance on debut. LEADING AGILITY (6) has been impressive at the trials leading into his debut, winning his past couple up at Conghua. All three of his siblings are race winners and Chadwick was making the trip to Conghua to trial the gelding. Not discounting him. STRAIGHT TO GLORY (9) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to his best with the rise in distance.
