Verdict

KURAKKA (9) will be resuming at a distance which does look suitable given he got all the way beyond a mile and a half. Some of that staying form is much better than any of these. You would only need to see market support to know he's ready. ROMANTIC ENCOUNTER (3) has been honest the whole preparation and is now finding the best sort of journey. He took on the Australian Guineas back in February and was not too far away. TAUNG (4) has built up a nice record so far and does run so well first up. Just whether his best is on the synthetic tracks. MISS CASTELVECCHIO (14) is a winner her only attempt at this track. Gets some gear changes too. DESERT ANTHEM (15) just keeps finding something better on the day.
