Verdict

BUSTLING CITY (4) is the one to beat after a dominant seven-length win at this track was followed by a half-length second when very short in the market. He was only caught late there after going way too hard up front. Can find the front again today and if he can control his speed up front, he can get back to winning ways. CAUSEWAY KING (8) brings the fresh winning form after scoring by two and a half lengths in C4 on the All-Weather. Rises in class now, but has good early speed and his upside makes him an attractive commodity. LUCY IN THE SKY (3) is the reliable danger, having placed at his past two and already finished behind Bustling City in a relevant recent matchup. BLAZING WIND (2) was plain first-up in C2, but his three wins and three placings from ten starts at this track and distance give him the right profile to rebound sharply.
