Verdict

MYTHICAL DRAGON (2) has had two starts from back row draws this campaign without filling a placing but improved last time when fourth after he was held up late. Building in fitness and is likely to get better favours from this nice draw. Primary contender. WICKED WHISKEY (8) came from this same barrier and finished second last start at this circuit and distance, beaten 2.7 metres. Has only once missed the top-four in his last five starts. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Big chance. CHEETAH CHICK (4) is a two-year-old filly by McWicked on debut for Jason Carkeet. Looks to have some talent based on two recent trial wins so expect a strong showing. DONT ASK AGAIN (7) draws wide but looks close to a win after two successive placings here.
