Verdict

DUKE OF ARGYLL (2) resumes after racing just twice at the maiden campaign, winning at this circuit and distance on debut. Draws to enjoy an economical run and was readied with two trials so could make a winning return. DRAMAS (4) finished fifth when resuming last week, beaten 5.5 metres. Should be improved by that so expect him to pose a serious challenge. LOUMINATE (5) placed for the third time in a row when he came from the back line at Redcliffe last week and has finished top-three in all five attempts at this circuit and distance. MYTHICAL DRAGON (7) delivered a last-start maiden win by 2.5 metres as a hot favourite at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but with luck could go on with it.
