Verdict

The well-related IRAMA (5) (half to G2 winner Serasana) got the maiden out of the way in impressive fashion last time out and will have come on with that win now under the belt. Winning hoop Dempsey stays in the stirrups and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Goes on top. MIKKI EIGHT (3) boasts a win around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Can trouble the judge with any luck from the wide draw. FIERY RING (1) also hails from a handy family (half to Listed winner and G2 placed Scorched Earth) and should be prominent from the favourable draw. Top-three credentials on best form. MIGRATORY (9) shed the maiden tag at the latest effort and can go right on with the job now. LUPINE (10) best of the rest from the inside alley.
