Verdict

EVER LUCK (5) led them up and was too speedy over this course and distance, winning by 0.5L as the race favourite. He's trending the right way early in his career and has enough speed to work across from the draw. Building nicely and can repeat the dose. ALPHA STRIKE (4) is beaten 2.3L over this course and distance 33 days ago and has trialled nicely since that effort. Drawn better here out wide and Moreira now hops on board. Can sit much closer than he did last time out and can land the knockout blow. FAST RESPONDER (1) was too good here last start when up on the speed throughout and remains right down in the weights with Yuen's claim. He's a speedy customer and he can be in this for a very long way. LOOKING BRIGHT (11) is better than he showed last time out and his recent trial was solid. Won't be far away.
