Verdict

Tricky. CELTIC SPY (3) resumes and didn't have the best of it when last seen on raceday in the Listed Wyong 2yo Classic on debut. Has trialled well for his return and has the inside barrier and the blinkers applied for the first time. Will be naturally improved and looks ready to go. ARTEMEX (2) resumed over shorter at Newcastle and just missed. Had been well supported prior in the Group 3 Golden Gift at Rosehill on debut. Has the race fitness experience and is a threat, FIRST ACT (5) debuts for the Waller yard with JMac sticking aboard from the trials. That's a decent push for his chances, and he maps for a soft run. The late betting should tell us more. Ditto with LORD HORATIO (7), who debuts off two trials and won the latest easily at Rosehill. Draws out a touch, but he looks to have plenty of ability.
