Verdict

LUCKY YEAR (7) is the one to beat after resuming with a solid second over 1m at this track, beaten just over a length after being kept safe near the top of an open market. Still a maiden, but the rise to 1 ?m this time looks a good move and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. ROMANTIC FANTASY (6) brings winning form after edging out Rosewood Fleetfoot at Happy Valley and has already won at this track and distance, with Zac Purton taking over a major positive. STAR BROSE (13) ties in neatly through that same Happy Valley race and was only a neck from Super Goldendragon here two back, so he has the right recent substance. SUPREME MASTERMIND (8) resumes from a three-month break with a kinder draw and weight relief. Can put his best foot forward.
