Verdict

FLYING LUCK (1) has been holding his form strongly since winning in this grade early last November. He has Blake Shinn in the saddle for the first time and from a handy gate, he will be very hard to hold out. MATSU VICTOR (4) got the decision by a nose here 2 starts back and then should have finished closer than third last time out. He has James McDonald in the saddle this time and with plenty of time to find a handy slot from the mile start, he should be right in the finish again. BALLISTIC WIN (2) has found it hard to win another race but is racing consistently over the shorter trips. He tries a mile for the first time and should settle close to the pace from a very handy draw. He is nicely placed to bounce straight back into the money. MIGHTY STRENGTH (6) is not without ability and was runner-up here when resuming from a spell. He has had a couple of tune-up trials since his last run just over 6 weeks ago and with the blinkers on for the first time, he can give this a shake.
